1 Power Steering Failed problem

Failure Date: 06/01/2020

Earlier today I sent in a complaint about steering rack/power steering qassembly failure. I made an error on the Tesla service bulletin #. It should have read correctly:sb-18-32-002 r3 January 11, 2019 (not sb-18-21-003) my error was in suggesting the TSB last 3 digits changed from 001, 002, and 003. They are actually all sb-18-32-002 r1 (and r2, and r3) sb-18-32-002 r3 January 11, 2019 the final TSB has vertical lines on the left margin to identify the revised note sentence. Additionally, I erred in the bulletin changing from 18 pages to 38 pages. All were in fact 18 pages. Revisions on sb-18-32-002 r3 were notated with a vertical line in the left margin. Please add this information to my complaint. Also, I can forward a copy of the email sent to Tesla on this issue, that was not answered by Tesla.
