Tesla recalls thousands of vehicles due to loose bolts

Tesla says it expected about 4 per cent of Model Y vehicles to have the defect

Thousands of Tesla’s Model Y vehicles are being recalled in the US by the company, according to a recent report by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA).

Loose bolts in the second row seats of thousands of Tesla cars was the reason cited for the recall.

The bolts that were securing second-row seat back frames in a number of Tesla’s 2022-23 Model Y vehicles may not have been securely tightened, the NHTSA said in its report.
