The mounting bolts were manufactured by the German company Bosch and began to actively rust after contact with low temperatures and salt on the roads. Also, some owners of Tesla C cars expressed their concern about this problem on online forums.
Tesla reports that only a few of the 123,000 Model Cs produced through April 2016 contain this fastener."We have observed excessive corrosion in power steering bolts, albeit in very cold climates, especially in those that frequently use calcium or magnesium salts on roads, as opposed to chloride sodium (table salt)," a Tesla spokesman wrote in an email to customers. If the mounting bolts were to break off, the driver would still be able to drive the car, but would have to apply more force "due to the loss of assist power when turning the steering wheel," wrote representative of the Tesla company.
