It has been a busy time for auto recalls, with Tesla, Audi, and Ferrari informing drivers of issues affecting several of their vehicles this past week. 

Tesla Recalls Model Y, Model 3 Vehicles

Tesla announced it is recalling 2,791 of its 2020-2021 Model Y and 2019-2021 Model 3 vehicles due to what the company says is an issue with their suspensions, reports Electrek.

The issue is related to a front suspension lateral link fastener that Tesla says can become loose, causing it to separate from the vehicle’s sub-frame. 

Tesla has told vehicle owners that it will fix the issue by tightening or replacing the fastener for free at a Tesla Service location, reports Electrek.

The company says it expects to notify owners by mail by Dec. 24, and directed anyone with questions to call its customer service at 1-877-798-3752.

Tesla also issued a recall notice due to an issue with the airbags in certain 2020-2021 Model 3 vehicles, reports Electrek. 

The company says the airbags may not have been properly secured and can get twisted up — violating Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards. 

Volkswagen Recalls Most 2022 Audis for Backup Camera

Volkswagen Group of America — which owns Audi — meanwhile, announced a recall for nearly all of its 2022 fleet due to an apparent issue with the vehicles’ backup cameras, reports Autoblog. 

The recall was issued in late October and affects the majority of Audi’s model year 2022 vehicles, along with a few of its 2021 fleet. 

Audi says an apparent software issue in the vehicles’ infotainment systems may fail to display the video for the backup camera when the car is initially put in reverse, reports Autoblog.

The company says the issue affects certain 2021 Audi A8 and S8 vehicles, along with 2022 Audi A5 Sportback, A4 Sedan, E-Tron GT, Q3, Q5, RS6 Avant, A3 Sedan, S5 Sportback, Q5 Sportback, Q7, Q8, RSQ8, SQ7, SQ8, and S3 Sedan vehicles. 

Audi said it expects to inform drivers of the recall by mail by Dec. 17 and that it will fix the software error free of charge, reports Autoblog. 

Ferrari Brake Problems Prompts Recall

Ferrari, in the meantime, has announced a recall due to a braking issue that is affecting 9,985 of its vehicles, according to The BRAKE report. The luxury sports car maker says the vehicles could lose the ability to brake due to potential brake fluid leaks. 

Certain 2010-2019 Ferrari vehicles are affected, including 2010-15 458 Italia, 2012-15 458 Spider, 2015 458 Speciale Aperta, 2014-15 458 Speciale, 2016-19 488 GTB, and 488 Spider vehicles. 

Ferrari says it has not figured out the reason for the potential brake fluid leaks and does not know how it plans to fix the apparent defect, according to The BRAKE Report.

The company said it plans to inform drivers of the issue beginning on Dec. 21 and will advise them to pull off the road if they receive a “low Brake Fluid” message on the dashboard of their vehicles. 

Top Class Actions will continue to monitor these and other auto recalls to help keep consumers informed about important vehicle safety defects. 

Volvo recently recalled more than 460,000 vehicles due to faulty airbags that can explode and shoot shrapnel into the vehicles’ cabin.
