NHTSA Complaint #11690143 — 2018 TESLA MODEL 3

Front suspension creaking noise, took in for service, techs ultimately found the front subframe captive welded nuts that secure the front links had sheared off, requiring a replacement of the subframe and some other suspension components. Nuts, which were initially welded to the subframe during assembly, were loose on both sides. No associated damage or impact, normal use over 7 years of ownership. This is also a common issue, and is already associated with a very limited recall (21V-835) but for whatever reason, this failure is still occurring quite often in the wild - normally with far more extreme consequences than in my case.
