Tesla recall affects more than 9,000 Model X, Model Y
Tesla Inc. (TSLA) is recalling more than 9,000 Model Y and Model X vehicles over issues with bolts and, in the case of the Model X SUV, a roof trim that could detach over time, potentially causing accidents or creating a road hazard. The 9,136 Model Xs involved in the recall were made between Sept. 2015 and July 2016, according to a NHTSA safety recall report (https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/rcl/2020/RCLRPT-20V710-9316.PDF). For the Model Y, Tesla notified NHTSA earlier this month that it was recalling "certain 2020 Model Y vehicles" because bolts in the car's steering mechanism may have not been properly tightened, which could eventually interfere with steering and increase the risk of a crash, NHTSA said (https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/rcl/2020/RCAK-20V709-5149.pdf). Tesla shares fell 0.8% on Wednesday amid weakness in the broader market. The stock has gained 560% this year, compared with gains around 12% for the S&P 500 index.
