2022 TESLA MODEL S — Complaint #1847604
Open-data reference.
NHTSA Complaint about SUSPENSION: ADJUSTMENT:MANUAL filed October 14, 2022
NHTSA complaint #1847604 (ODI reference 11489325) concerns a 2022 TESLA MODEL S and was filed on October 14, 2022. The owner reports the failure occurred on October 13, 2022. The vehicle had 10,000 miles on the odometer at the time of the incident. The report was geocoded to Pennsylvania based on the filer's self-reported location. The affected component is categorized as suspension: adjustment:manual, one of NHTSA's standardized taxonomy codes used to group defect patterns across make, model, and year.
The filer flagged the following severity indicators: crash: no, fire: no, injuries: 0, fatalities: 0. No crash, fire, or fatality was associated with this report, which places it in the early-warning stream rather than the priority-review stream. Because a VIN was supplied, this complaint is tied to a specific vehicle and not just a model-year cohort.
Individual complaints are consumer-submitted and unverified by NHTSA engineers — the agency's role at this stage is to collect, index, and make them searchable. What matters for federal action is the pattern: when many owners of the same TESLA MODEL S cohort independently describe similar suspension: adjustment:manual failures, defect investigators have grounds to open a PE and request manufacturer data. Related filings for the same vehicle and component appear below, and the detail page for the full 2022 TESLA MODEL S shows the complete component-level complaint distribution alongside any active investigations or recalls.
