Tesla Issues Service Bulletin to Address Model S/X Rear Lower Control Arm Issue in Norway
Tesla has issued a new Service Bulletin regarding the rear lower control arms in 2012-2021 Model S and 2015-2021 Model X vehicles in Norway. The bulletin was issued earlier this week, and comes after Norwegian Tesla owners reported issues with the rear lower control arms.
According to the Service Bulletin, Tesla will be inspecting and potentially replacing the rear lower control arms on affected vehicles. The issue is said to be related to a manufacturing defect that could lead to premature wear and potential failure of the component.
This is not the first time Tesla has had to address issues with the rear lower control arms on their vehicles. In 2017, Tesla issued a similar Service Bulletin for Model S and Model X vehicles in the United States after reports of excessive corrosion and cracking in the rear lower control arms.
Owners of affected vehicles in Norway are being contacted by Tesla to schedule an appointment for the inspection and potential replacement of the rear lower control arms. The service will be performed free of charge for affected vehicles under warranty.
It is important for Tesla owners in Norway to take this issue seriously and have their vehicles inspected as soon as possible. Failure of the rear lower control arms could lead to a loss of control and potentially dangerous driving conditions.
For more information on the Service Bulletin and to see if your vehicle is affected, Tesla owners in Norway can contact their local service center or visit the official Tesla website for updates.
