Tesla Model S: Update Vehicle Firmware To Restore Post-crash Ecall Functionality
Tesla is recalling 124 Model S and Model X vehicles sold in the United Kingdom because the emergency call system (eCall) won't work properly when a front passenger is seated in the vehicle after a crash. Tesla will fix this issue by sending a software update wirelessly to affected vehicles.
