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 3 vehicles affected by this recall were manufactured between 3 January 2019 and 4 June 2021.
