What's wrong

Tesla, Inc. (Tesla) is recalling certain 2022-2023 Model Y vehicles. The bolts securing the second-row seat back frames may not have been securely tightened.

Why it matters

A loose seat frame bolt may reduce the seat belt system's performance, increasing the risk of injury during a crash.
