Details

Issue: On certain vehicles, the bolts that attach the electric power steering assist motor to the steering gear may corrode and break.

This could cause a loss of power steering assist.

Safety Risk: A loss of power steering assist may result in a sudden increase in steering effort, especially at low vehicle speeds.

This could increase the risk of a crash.

Corrective Actions: Tesla will notify owners in writing and will arrange for the replacement of the mounting bolts for the electric power steering assist motor.

This service will be provided to customers free of charge.

If any broken bolts are found or if the bolts break during removal and cannot be removed, Tesla will install a new steering gear.
