Tesla is recalling more than 9,000 Model X vehicles over a trim on the roof that could separate and “create a road hazard increasing the risk of a crash,” the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) said 

The company led by Elon Musk will now test the roof trim adhesion on the 9,136 vehicles. Until last week, Tesla identified 40 warranty claims, 6 field reports, and 125 service reports in the U.S. that are related to or may be related to this condition.

NHSTA added that Tesla is not aware of any collisions, injuries, or deaths related to the issue.

“Tesla service will test the roof trim adhesion and reattach the trim pieces as necessary, free of charge,” NHTSA said on Wednesday.
