Tesla’s seemingly never-ending saga with the controversial yoke steering wheel is continuing with the carmaker revealing some Model S and Model Xs with the yoke have the airbag of the round steering wheel, and vice versa. A recall notice says that when certain Model S and Model Xs have been at service centers to have the yoke replaced with the round steering wheel, the wheel may have been equipped with a driver airbag designed specifically for the yoke.
The carmaker is blaming service operators who may have equipped the alternative steering wheel with the incorrect driver airbag. The issue came to the attention of the EV giant on October 9 when Tesla Service in Europe reported 12 cases in which round steering wheels with retrofitted with yoke steering wheels but the airbags were incorrect. Tesla quickly initiated an engineering study of these 12 vehicles and on October 16, extended this study to include 10 vehicles in the U.S.
