What the source says
The documented condition
NHTSA lists the 2022 Tesla Model Y in safety campaign 23V385000. The official record says: The steering wheel fastener may be loose. The stated safety consequence is: A loose fastener may allow the steering wheel to disconnect from the steering column, which can cause a loss of steering control and increase the risk of a crash. A make, model and year match does not confirm that a specific VIN is included or that the repair remains open.
