STRUCTURE:BODY
- The defect
- Tesla, Inc. (Tesla) is recalling certain 2016 Model X vehicles. The front and spine cosmetic roof trim may have been adhered to the vehicle without first using primer. As a result, one or both pieces of trim may separate from the vehicle while moving.
- What it can cause
- Trim that separates from the vehicle during use can cause a road hazard and increase the risk of a crash.
- What the dealer does
- Tesla will notify owners, and dealers will test the roof trim adhesion, and, as necessary, apply primer, free of charge. The recall began January 15, 2021. Owners may contact Tesla customer service at 1-877-798-3752. Tesla's number for this recall is SB-20-12-005. This recall has been superseded by Recall 24V615 (SB-24-12-008).
- NHTSA's note
- Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.safercar.gov.
The repair is free, whatever the age or mileage of the vehicle, and whether or not you are the original owner.
Which vehicles
A recall reaches a range of VINs inside these model years, not every car built in them. Yours may not be covered even if it is listed here, and the only way to find out is NHTSA's own VIN lookup .

How this campaign compares
At 9,136 vehicles this is a bigger campaign than 79% of the 19,818 vehicle recalls filed since 1995 whose size NHTSA published. The middle campaign on file covers 472. It covers one model year, 2016, so the oldest vehicles on it were 4 model years old when the defect was reported to NHTSA.
This site holds the complaint record for all 1 model year the campaign names. Their owners have filed 445 complaints with NHTSA, 194 of them before this campaign was filed. 56 of those name the structure, the system this recall is about — a count of complaints, not of this defect. The earliest of them reached NHTSA in March 2016, 4 years before this filing.
The vehicles on this campaign carry 8 other recalls published here, the newest being: 24V615000 (structure), 24V376000 (seat belts), 24V051000 (electrical system), 23V838000 (electrical system).
Check your own car
A VIN check is the only answer for a specific vehicle, and it also shows every other open recall on it, which is usually the reason it is worth doing rather than reading one campaign.
Filed by Tesla, Inc. with NHTSA on November 17, 2020 as campaign 20V710000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
