Tesla is recalling approximately 3,470 of its 2022-2023 Model Y vehicles because the bolts securing the second-row seat back frames may not have been properly tightened during production. If these bolts are loose, the seat belt system may not perform as intended during a collision, which could fail to properly restrain passengers. Tesla Service Centers will inspect the affected bolts and tighten them to the correct specifications at no cost to the owner.
A loose seat frame can cause the seat belt to be less effective during a crash. This mechanical failure prevents the safety system from securely holding an occupant, which increases the likelihood of suffering an injury during an accident.
