Tesla has issued a recall for 29,348 Model X vehicles, because their airbag might deploy incorrectly in some situations. This recall affects 2021 to 2023 Model X cars manufactured for customers in the US. According to the published by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration , the restraint control module calibration on those specific vehicles could cause the frontal passenger airbag to deploy"in an unintended configuration during certain low-speed collision events.
While the notice didn't illustrate the airbag's"unintended configuration," it said that it would result in noncompliance of the law when a child around three to six years old is seating in the front passenger seat without a seatbelt and out of position.
OMG! Please stop using this terminology for a simple software update! There are no cars going back to the dealership, there is no physical change that needs to happen - it’s just an update - the same thing that happens to your computer at least once a week.
Why do you always post these 'recall' stories after Tasla fixes the issue with an over the air update overnight?
Weird that Engadget only covers Tesla recalls. And doesn’t post how amazing it is that nearly all Tesla recall have been fixed by an OTA software update. Meanwhile, my Toyota…
Why don't you stop using titles containing the word 'recall' when the correct word should be 'OTA' which stands for 'Over The Air' which equal s to 'we have fixed this SOFTWARE problem and it has already been sent to your car when you read this!' Or something along these lines..

OTA Update. What's with the fake recall titles. Engadget more like 'End'gadget
There's no 'recall'. It's an over-the-air update. Stop with this misleading titles..
I thought the Faulty Airbag was busy running Twitter into the ground
Don’t call musk a faulty airbag. It’s mean.
