NHTSA Complaint #11341996 — 2016 TESLA MODEL S

I DROVE TO A STORE WITH NO ISSUES. UPON BACKING OUT OF A PARKING SPOT I HEARD A 'BREAK' AND THEN FELT THE FRONT RIGHT TIRE RUBBING AGAINST THE CAR. I NOTICED THE FRONT RIGHT TIRE WAS POSITIONED FURTHER BACK THAN USUAL AND DETERMINED SOMETHING BROKE UNDER THE CAR. TOWED THE CAR HOME, AND USED A CAMERA TO CAPTURE A BREAK IN THE FRONT FORE LINK. AS YOU CAN SEE IN THE PICTURES, I WASN'T INVOLVED IN ANY ACCIDENT, NOR DID I HIT A POT HOLE OF ANY SORT. I HAD THE CAR TOWED TO TESLA WHERE THEY FIXED THE PROBLEM, BUT STATED THAT THIS WAS NOT A RECALL OR COVERED UNDER WARRANTY (I WAS OUTSIDE OF THE WARRANTY). I DISCOVERED ONLINE THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH MODEL S AND X'S. I SUBMIT THIS TO YOU FOR YOUR REVIEW AS I BELIEVE THIS IS A SEVERE SAFETY ISSUE AND SHOULD BE RECALLED. ALSO, ATTACHED IN THIS INVOICE FROM TESLA. THEY REPLACED THE BROKEN PASSENGER SIDE FORE LINK AND ALSO REPLACED THE DRIVER SIDE FORE LINK AS I BELIEVE THEY FELT IT WOULD FAIL IN THE FUTURE.
