Tesla Inc (TSLA) will recall almost 6,000 vehicles in the United States due to an issue involving loose brake caliper bolts, a company filing with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) showed.
Loose caliper bolts could allow the brake caliper to separate and come in contact with the wheel rim, which could result in a loss of tire pressure in “very rare circumstances,” the filing showed.
The company said that in case there was vehicle damage from a loose or missing fastener, it would arrange for a tow to the closest service center for repair.
The recall is to affect particular 2019-2021 Model 3 vehicles and 2020-2021 Model Y vehicles, the auto maker said.
Tesla also said that it was not aware of any crashes or injuries associated with the issue.
