On the same day, NHTSA requested a recall of a total of 158,000 Model S and Model X vehicles from Tesla. The recall was due to the Media Control Unit (MCU) possibly causing touch screen failures, which could pose safety risks.
NHTSA believes that the Model S produced by Tesla between 2012 and 2018, as well as the Model X produced between 2016 and 2018, “contain defects related to vehicle safety”. Tesla needs to respond by January 27th.
