SUSPENSION:SUBFRAME/MOUNTING BRACKET
- The defect
- Tesla, Inc. (Tesla) is recalling certain 2023 Model Y vehicles. The front suspension lateral link fasteners may not have been properly attached to the sub-frame.
- What it can cause
- A loose fastener can allow the lateral link to separate from the sub-frame, causing instability and increasing the risk of a crash.
- What the dealer does
- Tesla Service will tighten or replace the fasteners as necessary, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed February 7, 2023. Owners may contact Tesla customer service at 1-877-798-3752. Tesla's number for this recall is SB-22-31-002.
- NHTSA's note
- Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153) or go to www.nhtsa.gov.
The repair is free, whatever the age or mileage of the vehicle, and whether or not you are the original owner.
Which vehicles
A recall reaches a range of VINs inside these model years, not every car built in them. Yours may not be covered even if it is listed here, and the only way to find out is NHTSA's own VIN lookup .

How this campaign compares
At 26 vehicles this is a small campaign: 84% of the 19,818 vehicle recalls filed since 1995 whose size NHTSA published are as large or larger. The middle campaign on file covers 472. It covers one model year, 2023, and the defect was reported to NHTSA in 2022, at or before the oldest model year it covers — as current as a recall gets.
Tesla vehicles have been recalled over the suspension 3 times before this, most recently in November 2021 as 21V912000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
This site holds the complaint record for all 1 model year the campaign names. Their owners have filed 1,136 complaints with NHTSA. 118 of those name the suspension, the system this recall is about — a count of complaints, not of this defect.
The vehicles on this campaign carry 16 other recalls published here, the newest being: 26V507000 (exterior lighting), 26V283000 (back over prevention), 25V092000 (steering), 25V002000 (back over prevention).
Check your own car
A VIN check is the only answer for a specific vehicle, and it also shows every other open recall on it, which is usually the reason it is worth doing rather than reading one campaign.
Filed by Tesla, Inc. with NHTSA on December 5, 2022 as campaign 22V895000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
