2022 TESLA MODEL X — Complaint #2141907
Open-data reference.
NHTSA Complaint about STRUCTURE:BODY:DOOR:HINGE AND ATTACHMENTS filed October 21, 2025
NHTSA complaint #2141907 (ODI reference 11694836) concerns a 2022 TESLA MODEL X and was filed on October 21, 2025. The owner reports the failure occurred on November 14, 2023. The report was geocoded to California based on the filer's self-reported location. The affected component is categorized as structure:body:door:hinge and attachments, one of NHTSA's standardized taxonomy codes used to group defect patterns across make, model, and year.
The filer flagged the following severity indicators: crash: no, fire: no, injuries: 1, fatalities: 0. No crash, fire, or fatality was associated with this report, which places it in the early-warning stream rather than the priority-review stream. Because a VIN was supplied, this complaint is tied to a specific vehicle and not just a model-year cohort.
Individual complaints are consumer-submitted and unverified by NHTSA engineers — the agency's role at this stage is to collect, index, and make them searchable. What matters for federal action is the pattern: when many owners of the same TESLA MODEL X cohort independently describe similar structure:body:door:hinge and attachments failures, defect investigators have grounds to open a PE and request manufacturer data. Related filings for the same vehicle and component appear below, and the detail page for the full 2022 TESLA MODEL X shows the complete component-level complaint distribution alongside any active investigations or recalls.
Complaint Description
The wing-style door of the car closed while my 1-year-old daughter's leg was sticking out. It dragged her leg sideways as it closed, and he femur broke. None of the sensors worked, the door should have detected motion or pressure, but they did not and it resulted in my daughter's leg breaking.
