Tesla announced a recall for some of its newer-model vehicles due to a potential brake fluid detection issue.

The recall notice affects 55,000 of its Model X vehicles, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) said, and can be resolved with a software update.

The vehicle, according to NHTSA, can fail to detect low brake fluid and will not display a warning light.

"Without a warning light, the vehicle may be driven with low brake fluid, which can reduce braking performance and increase the risk of crash," the federal safety regulating agency said.
