Tesla announced it is recalling thousands of Model Y vehicles in the U.S. after learning bolts securing the second-row seat back frames may be loose.
Tesla stated the issue could possibly be identified if second-row seat backs are not folding properly or if they are rattling during normal operations.
Customers with affected models can take their vehicles to a Tesla store or service center for free inspection. Tesla said it will inspect the bolts that secure the second-row driver-side and passenger-side seat back frames and retorque them to specifications if necessary.As of Feb. 23, the manufacturer identified five warranty claims received between Dec. 9 and Feb. 14 reporting conditions related to the recall.
After the first claim in early December, Tesla said it implemented improved process controls and improved training and supervision to ensure bolts are torqued to specifications going forward. Tesla stores and service centers across the country were notified of the recall beginning Feb. 28.
