Tesla has had to recall some Model Y cars due to loose bolts

Tesla this week has had to recall a number of Model Y SUVs due to a potentially loose bolt in the steering system. 437 cars have been recalled so far.

The bolts connecting the front upper control arm and steering knuckle may not have been torqued to specification. If not properly secured, the upper control arm can unseat from the steering knuckle, resulting in excessive negative or positive camber and adverse impact to steering.

Tesla’s information, as reported to the NHTSA

Any owners affected will be contacted and the fix will just involve fighting the fasteners to the appropriate specifications.
