Bulletins for the same vehicles and component
| SB-18-10-003 | 2018-07-16. Service bulletin. Certain Model 3 vehicles were manufactured with the upper bolt of each rear door lower hinge being longer than necessary. These bolts might rub against the front seat belt retractor spools, leaving a cosmetic mark on the belts. This will not cause belt wear. |
