## What is wrong

Issue:

On certain vehicles, the bolts that attach the front suspension lateral links to the sub\-frame may not be properly tightened. Over time, the bolts could loosen and the lateral links could separate from the sub\-frame. If this happens, there could be sudden changes in wheel alignment and a loss of vehicle stability.

Safety Risk:

A loss of vehicle stability could cause a loss of control and increase the risk of a crash.

Corrective Actions:

Tesla will notify owners by e\-mail and arrange for an inspection the front lateral link bolts. Tesla Service will tighten or replace the bolts, as necessary.
