Front Suspension Control Arm Problems of Tesla Model Y

Went for a tire rotation. Service tech noticed the following- the passenger rear control arm had a bolt that was backing out of it & the nut was missing. The bolt had rubbed through the wheel weight on the wheel that was originally on the right rear. Photo is included of the rear control arm bolts for both sides of the car. Only the right rear had a problem.

The contact owns a 2023 Tesla Model Y. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed and making a right turn, the driver’s side control arm detached from the vehicle, and the contact lost control of the vehicle. The control arm was dragged for several minutes before the vehicle came to a stop. The contact pulled over to the side of the road while on a hill. The contact called the police to assist with traffic control. The vehicle was towed to the residence. The vehicle was then towed to the Tesla service center, where it was confirmed that the driver’s side front lower lateral link assembly had detached. The vehicle remained at the dealer awaiting the repair. Several days later, the contact was informed that the half-shaft assembly had also failed. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 72,350.

This is a manufacture defect. The windshield water comes down and fall dropping on the upper control arm. I needed it to replace this every year. This is a well documented issue. It is all over the web. This is insane.

Please note that I have used the VIN of a random Tesla Model Y since the VIN of the car in question is unavailable. Here is a link to a video in which an owner shows his car broken down on the side of the road because the front control arm has simply fallen off the car. . Read more...
