Saudi Arabia’s Ministry of Commerce has issued a recall for 182 Tesla Model 3 vehicles, specifically covering the 2024 to 2026 model years. This safety measure was initiated due to a technical glitch involving the calibration of the Far Side Airbag (FSAB). Authorities warned that if this defect remains unaddressed, the airbag may fail to deploy correctly during a side-impact collision, significantly heightening the risk of injury for passengers.

To rectify the issue, owners of the affected Premium LHD vehicles are encouraged to verify their car’s status by entering their Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) on the official Recalls.sa website. Fortunately, fixing the flaw does not require a trip to a service center; owners can resolve the problem by downloading and installing a remote software update. If any technical issues arise during the process, Tesla Gulf Limited is available for support via their dedicated service line.
