The company says in the documents that the front windshield wiper motor controller can stop working because it’s getting too much electrical current. A wiper that fails can cut visibility, increasing the risk of a crash. The Austin, Texas, company says it knows of no crashes or injuries caused by the problem.

In the other recall, a trim piece along the truck bed can come loose and fly off, creating a hazard for other motorists.

Tesla says in documents that the trim piece is installed with adhesive, and that may not have been done properly at the factory.

    Who said they sold them? There was a recent story where there was a parking lot full of them that was spray painted “fuck Elon” so we can assume there are other lots of them rusting away.

      I think the ones in that lot were sitting there waiting for recall work to be done before they could be delivered to suckers customers.
