Per a few SC managers and certified body shop owners, Tesla has an internal recall with the vendor which supplied the FUCAs (at least through some as-of manufacture and car model month/year date) and is basically having this vendor eat the cost of replacing all the FUCAs (at least the parts cost).
This is part of the reason why Tesla will typically replace both, if even just one is deemed to have failed.
Given this, its surprising they nickle and dime people with replacement and why they even bother with the pathetic bandaid resealing. The only logical explanation is they'd rather have more FUCAs fail out of warranty so the vendor/provider doesnt have to eat the cost for replacing all FUCAs for MYs 2017-2022+ ... and likely multiple times.
Will be interesting to see if the new silver cast iron FUCAs make any difference or will this become one of the signature failure points for 1st gen Model 3/Ys.
Hopefully they figure out how to make a robust suspension for whatever cars come next (5-10 years).
