Tesla recalled 3470 Model Y medium-sized SUV in the United States because of loose seat bolts.

Thank you, Mr. Air, a netizen of CTOnews.com, for your clue delivery! CTOnews.com, March 5 (Xinhua)-- according to the latest documents from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, Tesla will recall 3470 Model Y cars made between 2022 and 2023 in the United States on the grounds that "the bolts that secure the back frame of the second row of seats may not be tightened."

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration says loose seat frame bolts may reduce the performance of the seatbelt protection system and increase the risk of injury in a collision.

Tesla said in the recall application that since December last year, it had identified five warranty claims that might be related to these situations, but had not seen any casualties that might be related to the problem.

Tesla said that users need to check the bolts that secure the second row of driver side and passenger side seat back frames to the lower seat frame and tighten them carefully (CTOnews.com Note: Tesla did not mention whether only US-made models are affected, everyone can check their cars).

The carmaker also said that in December last year, a supplier of seat backrest frames for Tesla had implemented improved training and supervision and strengthened product quality control to ensure that the bolt torque produced was up to standard.
