- What is wrong
- Tesla is recalling certain model year 2010 roadster 2.0 and 2.5 vehicles equipped with a 12v auxiliary cable. The 12v auxiliary cable for the low voltage back up power system may be improperly routed. If the wire is improperly routed, and trapped against the wheel well cover, the wire may abrade against the edge of the carbon fiber armature and, over time, expose the wire. Contact between the bare wire and carbon fiber may cause a short-circuit leading to possible electrical arching.
- Risk
- Short circuit and electrical arcing could lead to a fire in the right front headlamp area.
- Remedy
- Tesla motors will check the routing of the 12v auxiliary cable and install a protective sleeve over the wire free of charge. This will prevent misrouting and pinching by the wheel well cover. The safety recall began on october 31, 2010. Owners may contact tesla customer service at 877‑888‑3752.
