The company says in the documents that the front windshield wiper motor controller can stop working because it’s getting too much electrical current. A wiper that fails can cut visibility, increasing the risk of a crash. The Austin, Texas, company says it knows of no crashes or injuries caused by the problem.
In the other recall, a trim piece along the truck bed can come loose and fly off, creating a hazard for other motorists.
Tesla says in documents that the trim piece is installed with adhesive, and that may not have been done properly at the factory.
I think it’s the amount of recalls in such a short time combined with how long it took to ship the first one after you could place an order. And the ceo’s attitude definitely doesn’t help.
Edit: price might also be a factor. I’d never spend that much on a vehicle but if I did and it had this many recalls I’d be furious.
