All 12 Known Issues

On the 2021-2023 Tesla Model X, tesla recalled 15,000+ Model S and Model X vehicles (Model X built Sept 8, 2021-June 24, 2023) because front-row seat belts may not be properly connected to their pretensioner anchors. During certain prior repairs the belt was disconnected from the pretensioner and not correctly reattached, so the belt could detach in a crash and fail to restrain the occupant, greatly increasing injury risk.

Common Symptoms

Seat belt feels loose at anchor
Belt not firmly retained when tugged
Recall notice for seat belt anchor

How to Fix

Check your VIN against the recall and schedule the free inspection; Tesla verifies and, if needed, reconnects the first-row seat-belt anchors to the pretensioners. Until inspected, ensure belts click firmly and pull-test them. The remedy is provided at no charge.

On the 2016-2024 Tesla Model X, model X vehicles using Autopilot or FSD have reported 'phantom braking' - sudden, unprompted hard braking or deceleration when no obstacle is present. With radar removed from post-2021 cars (Tesla Vision, camera-only), shadows, glare, overpasses, and oncoming traffic can trigger false automatic emergency braking. It was part of a large software recall and a multi-year NHTSA investigation (since closed as incidents declined with software updates).

Common Symptoms

Sudden unexpected braking with no obstacle
Deceleration under overpasses/shadows
Collision-warning chime with clear road
Speed drops on Autopilot without input

How to Fix

Keep the car on the latest firmware, which progressively reduced phantom-braking events. Report recurring events to Tesla so they are logged. Drivers should keep hands on the wheel and be ready to override with the accelerator. No hardware repair is required; the remedy is delivered as over-the-air software updates (free).

On the 2016-2018 Tesla Model X, early Model X vehicles (built before March 2018) use a Media Control Unit (MCU1) with an 8GB eMMC flash chip rated for only ~3,000 write cycles. Constant logging wears the chip out, degrading memory segments until the central touchscreen freezes, reboots repeatedly, or goes fully black. A dead MCU takes down climate control, navigation, backup camera, charging control, and phone-key access. NHTSA pressured Tesla into a recall covering this defect.

Common Symptoms

Black or blank center touchscreen
Screen freezes or reboots randomly
Slow/laggy UI
Loss of backup camera
Bluetooth/audio dropouts
Cannot see charging status

How to Fix

Eligible cars qualify for Tesla's 8GB eMMC recall, which replaces the failing chip with a 64GB eMMC free of charge (approx. 90 minutes for Model X). Out-of-recall or out-of-warranty owners can use third-party eMMC daughterboard replacement/repair services, or upgrade to MCU2. Reducing unnecessary logging and dashcam writes can slow wear.

On the 2016-2021 Tesla Model X, legacy Model X vehicles use a small 12V lead-acid auxiliary battery (AtlasBX/Hankook 85B24LS, 45Ah) that powers low-voltage systems. It commonly degrades in 2-4 years and can fail with little warning. When it dies, the car may not wake/start, doors may lock out, screens go dead, and charging can be blocked. A 'Replace 12V battery soon' / '12V battery needs service' alert typically precedes total failure by only days.

Common Symptoms

'12V battery needs service' alert
Car won't wake or start
Doors/handles unresponsive
Screens dead on entry
Charging won't initiate

How to Fix

Replace the 12V battery promptly when the warning appears (do not wait weeks). Use the OEM AtlasBX/Hankook 85B24LS or a quality equivalent; many owners upgrade to a lithium replacement (e.g., Ohmmu) for longer life. Keep the car on a low-voltage-friendly maintenance routine. Note BMS DTCs BMS_f151/BMS_w151 or GTW_w017 indicate the 12V system is failing.

On the 2016-2021 Tesla Model X, a yellow band or border develops around the perimeter of the center touchscreen. It is not a failed LCD but a breakdown of the adhesive/laminate layer bonding the display, aggravated by heat and UV exposure. It affects both MCU1 and MCU2 units and is largely cosmetic, though widespread and persistent. Some owners report recurrence after repair.

Common Symptoms

Yellow band around edge of touchscreen
Discoloration worsens over time/heat
Border reappears after prior fix

How to Fix

Tesla's fix is a UV-light fixture treatment that cures the discolored adhesive in ~2-3 hours; it is free during the warranty period but requires a service center with the UV tool (cannot be done by mobile service). Owners out of warranty can use DIY/third-party UV curing kits. Full display replacement is only needed if UV treatment fails to hold.

On the 2016-2022 Tesla Model X, model X front (and to a lesser extent rear) control arm assemblies are widely reported to prematurely wear, loosen, or crack. The most common complaint is a clunking or creaking noise from the front suspension over bumps, traced to water intrusion into the upper control arm ball joint / bushing. Owners and a class-action complaint allege the fore and aft links wear early; in severe cases a failed control arm compromises steering stability. The heavy curb weight of the Model X accelerates ball-joint and bushing wear versus lighter EVs.

Common Symptoms

Clunking or knocking over bumps
Creaking from front suspension
Loose or vague steering
Uneven or premature tire wear
Noise worse in cold/wet weather

How to Fix

Have the front upper and lower fore/aft links inspected for play and torn bushings when any clunk or creak develops. Replace worn control arms in axle pairs (Tesla or reputable aftermarket links); the fix is a straightforward R&R with an alignment afterward. Catching it early prevents ball-joint separation. Some repairs may be covered under Tesla's suspension goodwill/warranty adjustments.

On the 2016-2023 Tesla Model X, the Model X's standard adaptive air suspension develops air leaks at the air struts, fittings, or valve block, plus compressor wear, causing a corner (usually a front) to sag overnight, slow self-leveling, and 'suspension will not raise / needs service' warnings. Height-sensor faults can mimic a leak by commanding bleed-down. Compressor failure is often driven by moisture ingress causing internal rust or winter freezing.

Common Symptoms

One corner sags when parked
'Suspension will not raise' / needs service alert
Slow leveling or won't reach set height
Compressor runs constantly or is noisy
Ride height error messages

How to Fix

Diagnose the pattern first: confirm which corner drops, soap-test struts/lines for leaks, verify compressor build pressure and duty cycle, and check height-sensor plausibility before buying parts. Repairs range from replacing a leaking air strut/spring or valve block to a new air suspension compressor. Replace the compressor's air dryer to prevent repeat moisture failures.

On the 2017-2021 Tesla Model X, tesla recalled 40,000+ Model S and Model X vehicles from 2017-2021 because the electronic power steering assist can suddenly stop working after hitting a pothole or driving on rough roads, causing a sudden increase in steering effort and higher crash risk. A separate earlier recall covered pre-October-2016 cars where power-steering mounting bolts corrode in cold/salt climates.

Common Symptoms

Sudden heavy/stiff steering
'Power steering assist reduced' warning
Loss of assist after a pothole or bump
Steering effort increases at low speed

How to Fix

Confirm your VIN against the NHTSA/Tesla recall and get the free remedy (an over-the-air firmware calibration update and/or hardware inspection at a service center). Do not ignore a 'power steering assist reduced' warning; the car remains steerable but requires much greater effort. Repairs under recall are free regardless of age or mileage.

On the 2016-2021 Tesla Model X, earlier Model X drive units can develop a progressive hum, whine, or drone that rises with road speed, caused by worn rotor bearings inside the motor (the bearings spin up to ~22,000 RPM). The noise is present regardless of throttle position and independent of road surface, distinguishing it from tire noise. Left unaddressed, bearing wear can escalate to full drive-unit failure. Tesla historically replaces the complete unit rather than the bearing.

Common Symptoms

Hum/whine that rises with speed
Noise constant regardless of throttle
Drone at steady highway speed
Grinding in later stages
Reduced power / drive unit fault

How to Fix

Have the noise diagnosed early: a specialist can sometimes replace the worn bearings with ceramic units for a fraction of a full swap. If caught late, Tesla replaces the complete Large Drive Unit (roughly $5,000-$9,000 out of warranty). Drive-unit failures within the 8yr/unlimited-mile powertrain warranty are covered. Address any speed-correlated whine before it worsens.

On the 2015-2024 Tesla Model X, the signature Falcon-Wing rear doors on Model X are notoriously trouble-prone — symptoms include doors refusing to open, opening too slowly, getting stuck mid-cycle, mis-detecting obstacles, hitting low ceilings, and squeaking. Tesla revised door hardware multiple times (Gen 1 → Gen 2 → Gen 3 latch mechanism). Issue persists across years but Gen 3 (post-2019) is noticeably more reliable.

This issue also affects: Lucid Air, Polestar Polestar 2, Tesla Cybertruck

Common Symptoms

door wont open
door stuck
door hits ceiling
squeak
slow door

How to Fix

Tesla service centers can recalibrate doors free if symptoms present; out-of-warranty hardware replacement can be $1,500-$3,000 per door. Latch assembly $400-$800 part; replacement procedure is involved. Sometimes "manual close" mode is a temporary workaround.

On the 2016-2023 Tesla Model X, the Model X's motorized front-door handles (which auto-present as you approach and retract when driving) frequently jam, fail to extend, or present but won't unlatch the door. Root causes include worn handle drive gears, debris, a jammed retraction mechanism, or a failed door pop actuator. Owners are locked out or trapped-in until they use the app or interior manual release, and lemon-law complaints span 2019-2023+.

Common Symptoms

Handle doesn't present on approach
Handle presents but door won't open
Handle stuck extended or won't retract
Grinding/whirring from door on entry
Must use app or manual release to enter

How to Fix

Run the door-handle calibration in the touchscreen (requires software 2023.12+) and reboot the computer as a first step. Persistent failures require replacing the handle drive unit/actuator gears or the exterior release module. In the meantime, open with the Tesla app or the interior manual release. Keep firmware current, as several handle bugs were addressed in software.

On the 2016-2024 Tesla Model X, the Model X's oversized one-piece panoramic windshield (the largest in production) is prone to cracking from minor rock/stone impacts and to delamination (bubbling/cloudy separation between glass layers), sometimes starting at the edges. Because the glass is huge, curved, and integrates the wiper and sensor mounts, replacement is expensive and often has long parts lead times. Some delamination cases have been covered under warranty as a manufacturing defect.

Common Symptoms

Crack spreading from a small chip
Bubbling or cloudy patch in glass
Cloudiness/separation at windshield edges
Distorted view through glass
Whistling/wind noise near delaminated area

How to Fix

Small chips outside the driver's critical vision area can sometimes be resin-repaired if addressed immediately. Cracks and any delamination require full windshield replacement using an OEM panoramic unit and recalibration of the forward camera/ADAS. Document delamination early and pursue warranty/goodwill coverage; a quality PPF or windshield film reduces future chip risk.
