Summary

On a certain few Model 3 vehicles, the steering shaft sleeve diameter is too large, and might preload the steering shaft boot bearing so as to cause a squeaking noise to come from the steering shaft boot when the steering wheel is turned. The squeaking noise is most prevalent at lower ambient temperatures, and might diminish as the temperature rises. This is exclusively an NVH issue and does not affect steering functionality.

Owners of these vehicles have filed 1 complaints in the steering category.
