# Service bulletin SB\-18\-13\-002 R1

A bulletin is a manufacturer's communication to its dealers, as NHTSA indexes it. The summary is NHTSA's. The document is the manufacturer's: read it at NHTSA. A bulletin is not a recall, and listing a model year does not mean every vehicle of it is concerned.

## NHTSA's summary

On some Model S base trim front seats, the forward inboard Huck BOM fastener and pivot bushing \(nearest to the center console\) used on the front lift links may develop an interactive clearance condition, which might result in a rocking motion in the seat. This does not affect performance, but might result in customer dissatisfaction.
