The lateral control arm of the front suspension is attached to the sub-frame by means of two fasteners. If a fastener gets loose enough or detaches from the sub-frame, this can cause the wheel alignment to change. This may cause instability, which could have a negative effect on vehicle control and increase the risk of a collision.
The Tesla Model Y vehicles affected by this recall were manufactured between 3 January 2020 and 4 June 2021.

This notification is purely informative for the vehicle type you have selected.

What should an owner do if there's a recall?
Please note that the recall may not apply to all vehicles produced in a given period. If you think your car might be affected, you should immediately contact a Tesla dealer or workshop officially authorised to perform repairs on behalf of the manufacturer and ask for the details. You can use our sample request text. After reporting the vehicle's VIN code, you will find out if the defect is present on your car, or if it has already been resolved by the previous owner if the car was purchased second-hand.
If you wish to know more about the eventual problems of a specific car (e.g. real mileage, potential traffic accident damages, odometer rollback, repairs, etc.), in that case, we suggest going to this page.
