Tesla Model 3 and Model Y recalled for potential brake issue
Tesla is recalling nearly 6,000 Model 3 and Model Y electric cars for brake-caliper bolts that could be loose. First spotted by Reuters, the recall covers Model 3 sedans from model years 2019 to 2021, and Model Y crossovers from model years 2020 and 2021.
