Tesla announced this afternoon that it's voluntarily recalling the small number of Model X that were produced before March 26th, 2,700 in total, over concerns that the third-row seats could fold forward in a crash. The company says the seat passed 15 previous tests, but failed during a 16th, slightly different test prior to the start of European deliveries. All vehicles affected are labeled for US sale; most (but not all) are already in customers' hands. No injuries or issues in production vehicles have been attributed to the problem, which Tesla calls a manufacturing defect, not a design defect.
