The squeaking noise is most prevalent at lower ambient temperatures, and might diminish as the temperature rises. This is exclusively an NVH issue and does not affect steering functionality.","document":{"url":"https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/tsbs/2019/MC-10162293-0001.pdf","alternate_url":"https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/tsbs/2019/MC-10162293-9999.pdf","confirmed":false},"url":"https://open.wenmarpro.com/bulletins/10162293","components":[{"id":"steering","name":"Steering","parent":null}],"codes":[],"topics":[],"vehicles":[{"make":"TESLA","model":"MODEL 3","year_from":2017,"year_to":2017,"match":"exact","vehicle_ids":["2017_tesla_model-3"]}],"as_of":"2026-10-19","note":"A bulletin is a manufacturer's communication to its dealers, as NHTSA indexes it.
