, the steering wheel fell off while driving. Both incidents appear to have the same backstory. Neither of the Model Ys with steering wheels that fell off had the retaining bolt installed that attaches the steering wheel to the steering column. Without the bolt, the only thing holding those steering wheels on was a friction fit between the steering wheel and column splines.

” that involved removal and reinstallation of the steering wheel. This investigation will initially aim to identify the “scope, frequency, and manufacturing processes associated with this condition." If the NHTSA deems it necessary after the investigation, it could order a recall of affected products.
