Tesla, the electric vehicle manufacturer, has issued a recall for 3,470 Model Y vehicles due to loose bolts in the steering system. The company said in a statement that it has discovered that the bolts securing the upper control arm of the left front suspension may not have been properly tightened during assembly. This could lead to a loosening of the bolts over time, resulting in a reduction of steering control.
The recall comes as a blow to Tesla, which has been experiencing rapid growth and expansion in recent years. The company has been praised for its innovative technology and sleek designs, but this latest incident serves as a reminder that even the most advanced systems can still be susceptible to defects and errors.
Tesla has assured customers that it is taking the issue seriously and is working to address the problem as quickly as possible. In the meantime, the company has advised affected Model Y owners to avoid driving their vehicles until the issue is resolved. Tesla has also said that it will provide loaner vehicles to affected customers free of charge while their vehicles are being repaired.
One Model Y owner, who wished to remain anonymous, expressed frustration over the recall. “I love my Tesla and I never thought something like this would happen,” they said. “But I’m glad that Tesla is taking action to fix the problem and keep everyone safe.”
