GM - TSLA Stock Alert: Tesla Recalls 30000 EVs for Airbag Issue
InvestorPlace - Stock Market News, Stock Advice & Trading Tips
Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA) stock is in the news Friday as investors react to the electric vehicle company (EV) recalling 30,000 Model X units.
The recall of these EVs has to do with an airbag problem. The issue comes from low-speed collisions, which could result in the airbag not deploying properly on the passenger side. This could happen if a young passenger is not belted in, or is out of position.
While this requires Tesla to issue a recall on the 30,000 EVs, it’s worth noting that owners won’t have to take them in for service. Instead, an over-the-air update will be sent out to affected vehicles to fix the issue.
To go along with that, it seems the likelihood of the airbag problem taking place is small. According to Tesla, it’s not aware of any crashes, injuries, or deaths related to the airbag issue, Reuters notes.
