An estimated 4% of cars are affected, a recall report submitted in late February said. On Model Y vehicles, the second-row driver- and passenger-side seat back frames are secured with four bolts per seat back. But during production for certain Model Y cars, one or more of the bolts securing the seat back frames to the lower seat frame “may not have been torqued to specifications.
The recall was filed the same month Tesla recalled all 363,000 US vehicles with the “Full Self Driving” driver assist software due to safety risks, a significantly larger recall, which was a blow to the automaker’s business model. The NHTSA said, based on its analysis, Tesla’s “Full Self Driving” feature “led to an unreasonable risk to motor vehicle safety based on insufficient adherence to traffic safety laws.
Slow news day?

Friend with a Tesla . His biggest regret. Build quality is dreadful
Musk will want to tighten the bolts online.
My VW Polo had a recall for something very similar on the middle, rear seatbelt. I was advised not to use the middle seat for 4 Months until they had the part in. Didn't make the news funnily enough...
