The Elon Musk manufacturer himself has reported to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), there have been no reports of accidents or injuries related to the problem. The Uncle Sam country brand itself, will also check and tighten, or replace the caliper bolts if necessary.
Tesla stated that this loose bolt could separate the brake calipers and touch the wheel rims, which can lead to a loss of tire pressure in very rare circumstances. Then, if any owner experiences the problem, Tesla will tow the unit and take it to the nearest repair shop.

Since then, the company has taken steps to prevent the brake caliper bolts from loosening in the assembly process.
