The bolts connecting the front upper control arm and steering knuckle may have not been tightened properly, allowing the upper control arm to detach from the steering knuckle.
A detached upper control arm can cause the wheels to lean in or out, decreasing the driver's ability to steer and increasing the risk of a crash.
What to do
Tesla will notify owners, and dealers will inspect, and -- as necessary -- tighten the bolts free of charge.
The manufacturer has not yet provided a notification schedule.
Owners may contact Tesla customer service at (877) 798-3752. Tesla's number for this recall is SB-20-31-012.
