Tesla s filing with the agency said it had no reports of crashes or injuries related to the issue and that the company will inspect and tighten or replace the calliper bolts as necessary.
Tesla said that loose calliper bolts could allow the brake calliper to separate and contact the wheel rim, which could cause a loss of tyre pressure in very rare circumstances .
The company said that, in the unlikely event there is vehicle damage from a loose or missing fastener, it will arrange for a tow to the nearest service centre for repair.
The filing said Tesla was made aware in December of a field incident involving a 2021 Model Y vehicle with a missing fastener on the driver-side rear brake calliper.
