in the United States over an issue that may cause the front passenger air bag to deploy incorrectly. The air bag could deploy incorrectly in certain low-speed collision events where a young
front seat passenger is unbelted and out of position, increasing the risk of injury, the company said in a filing with U.S. regulators. Tesla said it was not aware of any crashes, injuries
or deaths related to the recall. The problem will be addressed through an over-the-air software update, the company said in a letter filed with the National Highway Traffic Safety
Administration. Earlier this month, the world's most valuable automaker recalled over 40,000 Model S and Model X vehicles due to the risk of experiencing a loss of power steering assist
when driving on rough roads or after hitting a pothole.
