An estimated 4% of cars are affected, a recall report submitted in late February said. On Model Y vehicles, the second-row driver- and passenger-side seat back frames are secured with four bolts per seat back. But during production for certain Model Y cars, one or more of the bolts securing the seat back frames to the lower seat frame “may not have been torqued to specifications.
The recall was filed the same month Tesla recalled all 363,000 US vehicles with the “Full Self Driving” driver assist software due to safety risks, a significantly larger recall, which was a blow to the automaker’s business model. The NHTSA said, based on its analysis, Tesla’s “Full Self Driving” feature “led to an unreasonable risk to motor vehicle safety based on insufficient adherence to traffic safety laws.
Slow news day?
There are loose bolt on cars every day and people just tighten them up. The only reason they would recall is because no one can get to them without removing other major items ie. Battery panel which is under the car.
Loose bolts?
That’s probably around 1% of its cars
Murphy’s law.
Recalled owners for loose screws
Way to go Tesla inspection team!
Translation: Tesla is disrupting big oil so badly that we’ve been instructed to blow these things out of proportion. Oh yea, also because we’re mad that your CEO has messed with snowflakes heads like no one else has and they’re hurt. ElonForPresident
Cars get recalled often.
Free speech machines!
lol... just like twitter and the clown owner bunch of loose screws
Like a COSORI but in wheels
… In a car that is the least likely on the road to be in an accident. Like any of the legacy never had a recall? Oh right, they pay the media to keep those quiet
Car's got a couple of loose bolts. Owners got a couple of loose screws.
They need to unionize then maybe their vehicles would be assembled properly.
And the department of transportation said what?
This is shocking!
Friend with a Tesla . His biggest regret. Build quality is dreadful
Musk will want to tighten the bolts online.
My VW Polo had a recall for something very similar on the middle, rear seatbelt. I was advised not to use the middle seat for 4 Months until they had the part in. Didn't make the news funnily enough...
elonmusk said the robots responsible for the loose bolts claimed their AI made them do it.
