Tesla announces recall of 137 Model Y vehicles due to safety hazards in steering wheel parts

News on June 5, the U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration recently announced that Tesla will recall a batch of 2022-2023 Models Model Y, involving 137 vehicles.

This recall is due to the fact that the fastening parts of the steering wheel may not be tightened as required, which may cause the steering wheel to separate from the steering column, causing the vehicle to lose steering control, posing a safety hazard.

The editor learned that this problem was first discovered by Tesla service technicians while repairing the car seat on May 4. Subsequently, Tesla conducted a quality inspection and searched for the service and production records of the problematic vehicles from May 5 to May 19, as well as the production records of all Tesla factories.

Tesla said it has not yet experienced any crashes related to this issue. Tesla will provide free inspection and reinforcement/replacement services to these 137 owners to ensure their safety. Tesla will notify relevant car owners for maintenance before July 28, 2023.

#It is reported that there is currently no evidence that this problem affects other batches of models and vehicles in other markets. This recall only involves some batches of models from a certain factory in the United States, and Tesla owners around the world (including China) are not affected.

Tesla’s recall once again highlights the importance that automakers attach to product quality and user safety. Car owners should pay close attention to Tesla's recall notices and conduct relevant inspections and repairs in a timely manner to ensure driving safety. When purchasing a car, consumers should pay attention to the manufacturer's quality management and after-sales service levels to protect their own rights and interests.
