Tesla Motors is recalling 345 of its 2008 roadsters manufactured between March 2008 and April 22, 2009.
The company said the rear hub flange bolts may be under-torqued, causing it to become loose, resulting in degraded vehicle handling.
Tesla will notify owners and repair the vehicles free of charge. Owners may contact Tesla at 1-877-888-3752.
Consumers may contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY: 1-800-424-9153) or at www.safercar.gov.
