Consumer Description
I received a message on the screen saying there was a problem with the OCS and that it needed to be serviced immediately. I take it to Tesla service and they tell me they will need to do the following: 1. Replace MODULE - OCS FILTER 2. Retrofit SBR in OCS Equipped Front Passenger Seat - Remove and Replace 3. Replace FIRST ROW SEAT HARNESS 4. Replace FIRST ROW - SEAT BELT REMINDER SENSOR BOX CLIP 5. Replace FIRST ROWOCCUPANCY SENSOR 6. Replace FIRST ROWHARNESS ASSEMBLY -OCCUPANTCLASSIFICATION SYSTEM - RIGHTHAND 7. Replace Front PassengerAirbag And Update VehicleConfiguration - Remove and Replace To have all of this done, I paid $1,850. Nothing is covered under warranty. I have 64,000 miles on my car. It has never been in a wreck and I have taken good care of it. From what I understand, this is a common problem with Tesla’s.
