Recalls are very common in the automotive industry. And, unfortunately, no manufacturer spares. A few months ago, even Ferrari had to recall a large number of cars due to a problem with the brake fluid reservoir. Other brands were also affected, such as Peugeot, Ford, hyundai or even Renault. This also applies to Tesla, even if it remains quite rare. And in most cases, a simple small remote software update is enough to fix the problem. And that’s exactly the case with the ongoing recall that the American brand has just begun.

We are happy to partner with Tesla Service to provide service during the same hours as often as possible! Application of Formula 1 crew technique to Tesla.
