It's troubling it took this long.
An issue that should never have taken this long to resolve has finally been concluded. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) and Tesla have agreed to recall a total of 134,951 Tesla Model S and Model X electric vehicles due to touchscreen failure. The recall affects the 2012-2018 Model S and 2016-2018 Model X. The government safety agency began investigating the problem last June after receiving over 12,000 owner complaints and other related information submitted by the automaker itself.
"Tesla has decided to voluntarily recall certain Model S and Model X vehicles built before March 2018 that are equipped with an 8GB embedded MultiMediaCard (eMMC) in the media control unit because the eMMC may malfunction due to accumulated wear," the automaker formally stated.
