On February 2, local time, Tesla applied for a recall of 134,951 Model S and Model X vehicles in the United States due to the potential touchscreen malfunction caused by the media control unit (MCU), which poses a safety risk.
The recalled vehicles were produced at Tesla’s Fremont factory in California, including Model S produced between 2012 and 2018, and Model X produced between 2016 and 2018.

Previously, on January 13, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) of the United States requested Tesla to recall certain Model S and Model X vehicles, with a total of 158,716 units. The NHTSA believes that the touchscreen malfunction caused by the MCU may become more common as the vehicle is used for a longer time and the components age.
Tesla promised to release more information on the recall and repair before March 30 for owners. Meanwhile, Tesla stated that unless the touchscreen frequently malfunctions and cannot be resolved through firmware upgrades or system reboot, owners are not advised to schedule hardware repair services.
