Tesla Motors Hit By Recall

Tesla Motors, the high profile electric car startup headed by Elon Musk, has been hit by a recall by the NHTSA. According to the NHTSA recall notice, Tesla is recalling 345 of its 2008 Tesla Roadsters for an issue about the car's rear hub flange bolts. Apparently, the bolts on the vehicles are under-torqued, and may become lose, and could result in loss of control of the vehicle and a subsequent crash.
