A recall does not mean your car is affected. Check the market, build date and VIN with the manufacturer.
- Engine / equipment
- Brake caliper mounting to the stub axles: Tesla Model 3 and Model Y
- Period mentioned
- 2018–2021 (only the VINs in the recall)
- Symptoms
- The sources describe no early symptoms. The risk is that the caliper ends up restricting the wheel and the tyre loses pressure.
- Possible cause described
- According to the EU alert A12/01056/21 (Safety Gate), the fasteners holding the brake calipers to the stub axles may not be tightened to the correct torque; wheel movement can be restricted and the tyres may lose pressure, increasing the risk of a crash. The UK DVSA (R/2021/197) lists it for Model 3 cars built from 16/12/2018 to 22/3/2021.
- Check for the garage
- Ask Tesla service, with the VIN, whether the recall is outstanding: they check the caliper bolts and tighten them to the correct torque.
- 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.
