Each campaign in detail

  1. Wheel hubs poorly heat-treated (recall)

    Manufacturer recall

    On some examples, the front and rear wheel hubs may not have received adequate heat treatment: they can bend or break, causing a sudden change in wheel alignment and a loss of stability. Tesla recalled the affected vehicles for inspection at a service centre. In France, according to L'argus, the recall concerns Model Ys built between June and November 2021.

    Fixed free of charge by a dealer and not counted in the reliability score: ask for proof the work was done (invoice, or a VIN check at a dealer).
