The steering yoke or steering wheel on your Model S or Model X is the part that connects your hands to the steering system. If it was replaced with a different style, you might have an air bag that's not designed for it.
Risk if Unfixed
If the air bag deploys incorrectly during a crash, it could cause serious injury or harm. This is a critical safety issue that could put you at risk of getting hurt.
Free Fix
Your Tesla dealer will inspect the air bag and replace it for free if it's not designed to work with your steering yoke or wheel. This inspection and replacement are free of charge, and you should schedule it as soon as you receive the recall notice.

Original — What Happened
Tesla, Inc. (Tesla) is recalling certain 2016-2023 Model S, Model X, 2017-2023 Model 3, and 2020-2023 Model Y vehicles equipped with Full Self-Driving Beta (FSD Beta) software or pending installation. The FSD Beta system may allow the vehicle to act unsafe around intersections, such as traveling straight through an intersection while in a turn-only lane, entering a stop sign-controlled intersection without coming to a complete stop, or proceeding into an intersection during a steady yellow traffic signal without due caution. In addition, the system may respond insufficiently to changes in posted speed limits or not adequately account for the driver's adjustment of the vehicle's speed to exceed posted speed limits.
Original — Risk if Unfixed
FSD Beta software that allows a vehicle to exceed speed limits or travel through intersections in an unlawful or unpredictable manner increases the risk of a crash.
