Tesla has announced their first recall affecting certain 2013 Model S sports cars because of a possible installation defect that could cause the passenger seat to not stay in the upright position during hard braking or an accident.

The 2013 Model S is equipped with a second row seat with a seat back capable of pivoting between a stowed position for expanding the cargo area or in an upright position for passengers. During installation, some second row left hand seat strikers may have been subject to adjustments that could compromise the integrity of the striker mount.

Tesla will inspect the left hand second row strikers and will add additional mounting hardware to ensure the bracket is properly attached to the frame. Owners wanting more information about the recall can contact Tesla at 1-650-681-5000.
