2019-2021 Tesla Model 3 recalled in Australia

The fault could cause a catastrophic suspension failure, according to the recall notice.

Electric vehicle specialist Tesla has recalled 106 examples of its 2018-2021 Tesla Model 3, citing a suspension fault.

The affected vehicles are stamped Model Years 2019-2021.

The recall notice, lodged with the Department of Infrastructure, says: “The front suspension lateral link on Model 3 vehicles is attached to the sub-frame using two fasteners.

“If a fastener is not secured to the correct specification, the fastener may loosen over time or separate from the sub-frame, which could cause the lateral link to separate from the sub-frame.

“If a fastener becomes loose enough or separates from the sub-frame such that the lateral link separates from the sub-frame, the wheel alignment could shift and cause instability, which may adversely impact vehicle controllability and increase the risk of a collision.”
