Tesla Recalls And Replaces One Customer's Model X

But this latest recall caused Tesla to replace one customer's entire car.

In a story shared by Drive Tesla Canada, one owner's Model X was missing a bracket that reinforced the body under the rear passenger seats. The Model X was originally made without this bracket, and without it, the vehicle does not pass minimum load safety requirements, therefore the EV was recalled. 

The Model X was one of a few pre-production five-seat variants of the Model X, which are still very rare to see in the wild. For now, Tesla is mostly delivering the more expensive six-seat variant.

The owner of the five-seater was able to return their Model X and got a brand new vehicle for the trouble.
