  "textContent": "Vehicles affected: TESLA MODEL S (2013, 2012, 2014, 2015, 2016)\n\nSummary: Tesla, Inc. (Tesla) is recalling certain 2012-2016 Tesla Model S vehicles equipped with Bosch steering racks.  The aluminum bolts that attach the power steering gear assist motor to the gear housing may corrode and fracture causing a reduction or complete loss of power steering assist.\n\nConsequence: Loss of power steering assist would require a higher steering effort, especially at lower speeds, which may increase the risk of a crash.\n\nRemedy: Tesla will notify owners, and Tesla Service Centers will replace the steering gear mounting bolts and add a corrosion-preventative sealer, free of charge.  The recall began May 7, 2019.  Owners may contact Tesla customer service at 1-877-798-3752.  Tesla's number for this recall is SB-18-32-002.",
