Found bolt - which car?

[brkaus]

Wife found this on the driveway. In one of the expansion cracks, so no idea how long. We have a 2017 S100D, a 2018 M3LR, and a 2003 Dodge Ram.

Likely came from one of our cars, but we did have tree people here a few weeks ago that parked in the drive too…

Any ideas?

It’s from your 2018 Model 3 Front Lower Control Arm. 100% sure especially with those marks on thread as it got loose over time. Those bolts have been known to get loose overtime.

You should think about the below with the included pins to help secure for a more robust long term solution.

Thanks!

Noticed it while pulling the car out to go to it’s appointment to have the upper control arms replaced @ Tesla.

Perhaps wasn’t my smartest moment driving the car there…

You’re fine. Even Boeing thinks it’s safe.

Confirmed. Several recalls out there for this but none appear to cover our specific car.
