2010 TESLA ROADSTER2
Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.
Tesla is recalling certain 2010 Roadster 2.0 and 2.5 vehicles equipped with a 12V auxiliary cable used in the low voltage back-up power system. The cable may be improperly routed and trapped against the wheel well cover, which could cause it to abrade against the carbon fiber armature over time. This abrasion could expose the wire, and if the bare wire contacts the carbon fiber, it may cause a short-circuit and electrical arcing that could lead to a fire in the right front headlamp area.
Tesla will inspect the routing of the 12V auxiliary cable and install a protective sleeve over the wire at no charge to prevent misrouting and pinching. The recall began on October 31, 2010. Affected owners should contact Tesla Customer Service at 877-888-3752.
