Thanks for the update pilotSteve. I haven't heard anything from my local SC since he told me engineering was looking into it and he would let me know when he hears something. Glad to see some movemet.

Just got an email from my service center that a service bulletin is out and it involves the possibility of installing "Dust shields". I think all of you that have reported the issue will eventually be contacted to see if this TSB applies to your car.
I asked about the dust shields last week and was told I already had them and I have an early vin 05837. presumably unless you're super early purchase then we already have them.

Vin 10627; if this is the case then the shield is solving something else. I had exactly the same issue the OP had.
That's weird, I'm 1000 below you and I have an appointment to get them installed May 10. I was just in for service yesterday and they didn't say anything about me not needing them. They would have done it yesterday, but didn't have the parts.
this is Dennis with vin 05837 that's in for service right now at Springfield. There are new posts in the forums now about a new TSB just released by Tesla to address the slipping brakes that I describesd to you. Can you check to see if that would apply to my vehicle? What are these dust shields that are described?
Good morning.
Your car already has the dust shields (backing plates behind the rotor) Adding them to cars that were built without them is supposed to limit how much water soaks the brake pads when it is raining out.
We are putting new brake pads and rotors on your vehicle to address your concern, which is the other part of that bulletin.
This is a brand new bulletin that was just released and hopefully it will address your concern.
Thanks.

Again great service from the folks in Rockville.
The TSB that specifies additional shielding and brake pads (without a NVH damper) primarily applies to earlier cars, and they suspect mine already has them. They offered to verify, or instructed me how I could quickly check without having to drop the car off. I'll do that this weekend.
Nice. Can you post the instructions and/or photos when you do?
My SC staff said they didn't think they'd seen a Canadian car without the shielding, but were going to check mine when I had it in a couple of weeks ago. I forgot to ask them when I picked the car up. Mine is an earlier Canadian Production model that I got not long after the Sigs were delivered.
What service bulletin? Have a link? I've searched for a service bulletin on this issue and can't find one. I thought service bulletins of this nature had to be listed with NHTSA.Just got an email from my service center that a service bulletin is out and it involves the possibility of installing "Dust shields".

I noticed the braking problem again with recent heavy rains in the DC area. I am taking it in for my annual service soon, so hopefully they can change my pads and put in the shielding. I just hope that fixes it.
