What is wrong
Issue:
On certain vehicles, the front and rear suspension knuckles may not have been properly heat-treated. As a result, a knuckle could bend or break. If this happens, there can be a sudden alignment change that could lead to a loss of vehicle stability.
Safety Risk:
A loss of vehicle stability could increase the risk of a crash.
Corrective Actions:
Tesla will notify owners by email and advise you to contact Tesla service to arrange for an inspection of the front and rear suspension knuckles. The parts will be replaced, if necessary.

On some Model 3 and Model Y vehicles, the steering wheel cover material may separate from the steering wheel at the 3 o'clock and 9 o'clock position (Figures 1 and 2). NOTE: The material separation of the steering wheel cover is cosmetic only and does not affect the performance or function of the steering wheel. |
| SB-20-31-006 R3 | 2021-11-08. Service bulletin. On certain Model 3, Model Y, and Model X vehicles, there may be a water ingress path to both front upper control arm ball joints that, over time, could possibly lead to surface corrosion of these ball joints. This may result in a creaking sound coming from the front suspension when steering at low speeds and under high loads. This is exclusively an NVH condition only and does not result in premature failure of the ball joints. |
| SB-20-31-012 | 2020-12-14. Service bulletin. On certain Model Y vehicles, the Front Upper Control Arm (FUCA) to steering knuckle fastener for both LH and RH sides of the front suspension might be loose, or the FUCA to steering knuckle nut(s) might be missing altogether. |
| SB-20-32-007 | 2020-05-11. Service bulletin. On some Model 3 and Model Y vehicles, the upper steering column bolt may not be installed according to internal specifications, which could cause excessive play between the steering wheel and steering column. |
A bulletin is the manufacturer's note to its dealers. It is not part of this recall.
