A recall does not mean your car is affected. Check the market, build date and VIN with the manufacturer.
- Engine / equipment
- Front suspension lateral link and its joint to the subframe: Tesla Model 3 and Model Y
- Period mentioned
- 2019–2021 (only the VINs in the recall)
- Symptoms
- The sources describe no early symptoms. If a fastener works loose or comes off, the wheel alignment changes and the car can become unstable.
- Possible cause described
- The front suspension lateral link is attached to the subframe with two fasteners that may not be tightened to the correct torque. According to the EU alert A12/01806/21 (Safety Gate), if one works loose enough or comes off, the wheel alignment changes, which can affect control of the car and increase the risk of a crash.
- Check for the garage
- Ask Tesla service, with the VIN, whether the recall is outstanding: they inspect both links where they join the subframe, replace anything damaged and tighten the bolts to the correct torque. If the car feels unstable, do not drive on and have it checked.
- Cost cited in the source
- No verified estimate; check whether the free recall remedy remains outstanding for the VIN.A rough figure from the original database, not an up-to-date quote.
