Tesla is recalling 422 of its 2018-2019 Model 3 vehicles because the fasteners connecting the front suspension's lateral link to the sub-frame may loosen. If these fasteners loosen sufficiently, the lateral link can separate entirely from the vehicle's frame. Tesla Service will inspect the vehicles and either tighten or replace the fasteners as necessary at no cost to the owner.
A separation of the suspension lateral link can cause the wheel alignment to shift suddenly, which may lead to vehicle instability and significantly increase the risk of a crash.
Tighten or replace lateral link fasteners
