特斯拉今天下午宣布，他们自愿召回3月26日之前生产的少量X型跨界车，总数约为2700辆，原因是担心第三排座椅可能在撞车时向前折叠。该公司表示，该座椅通过了之前的15次测试，但在欧洲开始交付之前的第16次测试中失败了。所有受影响的车辆都贴有美国销售的标签；大多数（但不是全部）已经掌握在客户手中。生产车辆中没有人员受伤或问题被归咎于该问题，特斯拉称之为**缺陷，而不是设计缺陷。

尽管特斯拉将复杂的“monopost”第二排座椅的生产转移到了公司内部，但第三排座椅是由外部供应商生产的。特斯拉将这一问题归咎于第三排座椅使用的躺椅，并表示供应商将承担成本，因此预计不会对收益产生太大影响。

不是特斯拉第一次召回

这不是特斯拉的第一次召回，但这是第一次重大行动的模型X，这是仍在生产相对较少的数量(特斯拉最近的一份新闻稿指责该公司自己的“傲慢”未能像预期的那样迅速增长。）该修复方案已经设计并投入生产，特斯拉发言人指出，这不会对未来的Model X**量产生影响。

特斯拉表示，预计五周内将修复2700多辆汽车，每次修复都需要约两个小时的服务预约。不幸的是，对于车主来说，特斯拉建议他们在此期间不要使用第三排来运送乘客——该公司表示，在修复完成之前，“你可以充分利用”汽车，但对于使用三排座椅作为主要卖点的车辆来说，停用的第三排并不完全是“充分利用”。

以下是特斯拉今天发给X车型车主的信件全文：

We are emailing to inform you of a proactive action Tesla is taking to ensure your safety as a Model X owner. Tesla's internally conducted crash testing dem***trates that Model X will be the first SUV to receive the highest safety rating in every category, and we are committed to ensuring that it remains the safest SUV in the world.

Recently, during an internal seat strength test that was conducted prior to the start of Model X deliveries in Europe, the recliner in a third row Model X seat unexpectedly slipped. The recliner, which is provided to us by an outside supplier, is the locking hinge that allows the third row seat back to fold forward, and if a recliner were to slip during a crash, the seat back could move forward. Similar testing was conducted before the start of deliveries in North America, with 15 confirmation tests having been conducted without a single recliner failure. Despite these prior successful tests and no reports of a third row seat slipping in any customer vehicles, we have decided to conduct a voluntary recall as a precautionary measure and will be replacing all affected third row seat backs.

Our records show that you own a Model X affected by this voluntary recall. We will shortly send you an official recall notice by mail, but we wanted to alert you to this action as soon as possible.

A fix to this issue is already in place. We have worked with our supplier to develop a new recliner design with improved quality that resolved the issue. We are now c***tructing new third row seat backs to match all affected vehicles. Your service center will contact you to schedule the installation of your replacement seat backs as soon as they are available. Based on current production rates, we expect all replacements to be completed on a rolling basis over the next five weeks. We will accelerate this timing if possible.

Until the recall is performed, you may make full use of your Model X, although we ask that you temporarily not have anyone sit in the third row seats while the car is in use. We recognize that not having the use of your third row seats for the next few weeks will be an inconvenience, but your safety is our primary concern. We assure you that we are building your new seat backs as fast as we can.
