air bag could deploy incorrectly in certain low-speed collision
events where a young front seat passenger is unbelted and out of

related to the recall.
The problem will be addressed through an over-the-air software

Highway Traffic Safety Administration.
Earlier this month, the world's most valuable automaker recalled
over 40,000 Model S and Model X vehicles due to the risk of
experiencing a loss of power steering assist when driving on
rough roads or after hitting a pothole.
