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.
