Service bulletins for the 2018 Tesla Model S
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.

| SB-18-15-006 | 2018-10-15. Service bulletin. ELECTRICAL SYSTEM. On some Model X vehicles, incorrect routing of the intrusion sensor wires might result in electrical interference between the intrusion sensor and the intrusion sensor electrical control unit (ECU). The electrical interference causes the car alarm to activate, even if the vehicle is not being intruded. |

| SB-18-13-002 | 2018-08-06. Service bulletin. EQUIPMENT; SEATS; EQUIPMENT ADAPTIVE/MOBILITY. On some Model S base trim 1st row seats, the Huck BOM fastener and pivot bushing 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. |
| SB-18-50-002 | 2018-07-16. Service bulletin. EQUIPMENT. Certain 2nd generation Universal Mobile Connectors (UMCs) supplied to Tesla vehicles were not screened and might not indicate their status or charge the vehicle. |
The summaries are NHTSA's. Each bulletin's page links NHTSA's copy of the manufacturer's document.
