Model S/X: Tesla Addresses Rear Lower Control Arm Corrosion in Norway 

Norway opted against a recall for Model S/X rear lower control arms, citing low risk. Now, Tesla has issued a service bulletin for potential corrosion from water intrusion. Is this a proactive move demonstrating Tesla’s commitment to quality, or a quiet admission of a more widespread problem? Given the Norwegian authorities downplayed the risk, should owners elsewhere be concerned? Does this bulletin change your perception of Tesla’s build quality, especially for older Model S/X vehicles? I predict this will become a much bigger issue in regions with harsh winters and heavy road salt use. What are your thoughts? Share your experiences and predictions.
