Tesla Roadster Recall


Tesla has just announced a recall on 439 of its Rodasters due to a recently discovered redundant auxiliary cable rubbing against a panel. The cable, which acts as a backup to the primary wire for various electrical systems, was apparently lacking a protective sleeve it required.

This is only a concern for 2.0 and 2.5 Tesla Roadsters so those who were first up getting their Roadsters will be rewarded with not having to get their high-end electric cars in as the 1.5 versions are fine.

Not that those who do need work done really have much in way of being inconvenience. Tesla Motors service rangers will come to owner’s homes and office and install the protective sheaf there. A process which takes about one hour.

If you have one of these newer Roadsters, you’ll want to contact your Tesla Motors and get this all sorted out.

Tesla Motors Recalls All Roadsters


Telsa Motors issued a recall notice on Thursday called “Tesla To Do House Calls.” These house calls involve the Tesla technicians to the 345 owners of the now-infamous Tesla Roadsters to check whether their “rear, inner hub flange bolts” are properly torqued. All the Roadsters built before April 22, 2009 needs to have its engine examined.

According to Tesla, the problem was discovered after a “root-cause analysis” showed that the “uncharacteristic handling” reported by one owner was caused by improper torquing of those pesky bolts by Lotus, the Roadster’s contract manufacturer. Thus alerted, Lotus is also checking some of its Elise and Exige models.
