Watch out for Steering Bolt Breakage

[SMSMD]

I found two broken steering bolts in my garage, broken at different times. This was followed by vibration in the steering which i didn't realize was due to broken steering bolts. Later there was a loud noise when I started the vehicle and turned the steering . Got a message on the central console that steering assist was reduced. My model X was flatbedded to Calgary. Spares have to be shipped, 10 days still waiting.
There is a recall on this.
Please watch out for vibration or noise when you take extreme left or right.

Did you receive a service bulletin to replace the bolts on the Model S and X?

Yes of course..recall was wait listed pending availability of parts. In the meantime this happened.
Did you get your recall fixed?
This is noted in extreme weather conditions as in Alberta and Canada.

Steering fixed. Love to get back my Tesla. 100,227 km since 2016. Can't live without it.

Not that it matters to you ( unless you had to pay a deductible ) that "Pay Type" should have been "Recall" , not "Extended Service Agreement".

I agree..did not expect that one. No deductibles paid.
