This notice applies to your vehicle,
NHTSA Recall No: 23V-130
Dear Tesla Owner,
This notice is sent to you in accordance with the National Traffic and Motor Vehicle Safety Act. Tesla, Inc. has decided that a defect, which relates to motor vehicle safety exists in certain Model Year 2022-2023 Model Y vehicles. Our records show that you are the owner of a vehicle affected by this action.
REASON FOR THIS RECALL
Supplier manufacturing records indicate that one or more of the bolts that secure the second-row driver-side and passenger-side seat back frames to the lower seat frames may not have been torqued to specifications. If the bolts that secure the seat back frames to the lower seat frames are not torqued to specifications, the seat belt system may not perform as designed in a collision, which may increase the risk of an injury for occupants seated in affected second-row seating positions.
WHAT TESLA WILL DO
At no charge to you, Tesla Service will inspect the bolts that secure the second-row driver-side and passenger-side seat back frames to the lower seat frames and, if necessary, retorque them to specifications.

For awareness, the inspection of the seat frame bolts and repair, if necessary, will take approximately 15 minutes. The inspection and the repair may be completed by Tesla Mobile Service where available.
If you believe that Tesla has failed or is unable to remedy this defect without charge or within a reasonable time, you may submit a complaint to the Administrator, National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, 1200 New Jersey Avenue SE, Washington, DC 20590, by calling 1-888-327-4236 (TTY: 1-800-424-9153), or by visiting www.safercar.gov.
