NHTSA Complaint #10925274 — 2012 TESLA MODEL S

HERE IS A TESLA IN THE SALVAGE YARD. HTTPS://M.IAAI.COM/VEHICLEDETENC.ASPX?AUCTIONID=21921554&ITEMID=23249264&ROWID=16&PAGESOURCE=VEHICLERESULTS THE STEERING KNUCKLE HAS SNAPPED IN HALF. THE AIR-BAGS HAVE NOT DEPLOYED AND THERE IS NO VISIBLE DAMAGE TO THE CAR THAT WOULD EXPLAIN WHY THE KNUCKLE HAS SNAPPED IN HALF. UP UNTIL 2015 THE STEERING KNUCKLE WAS MADE FROM HOLLOW CAST ALUMINUM AND THERE HAVE BEEN MANY OTHER INCIDENTS WHERE THE KNUCKLE HAS SNAPPED. THE DESIGN WAS CHANGED IN 2015 TO A SOLID H-SECTION BUT FAILURES OF THAT PART AND OF THE TOP BALL JOINT ARE STILL OCURRING. AT THE VERY MINIMUM THESE CARS SHOULD BE RECALLED FOR A SAFETY INSPECTION OF THE SUSPENSION.
