Pre-delivery, Tesla notified me by text that the vehicle failed state safety inspection due to front upper ball joint play (a known Tesla Model 3/Y defect). Tesla repaired it at its own service center and certified it as passing on April 8, 2026.  No warning lamps or messages. ~12 days post-delivery a family member reported a noise from the left rear; the vehicle was then parked.  On May 10, 2026, I removed the left rear wheel and found the left rear brake caliper completely detached from the rear knuckle. Both caliper bracket mounting bolts were missing. The caliper was held only because it had seized on the rotor. Vehicle unsafe to operate. Towed by flatbed to Tesla May 11; available for inspection on request.  Properly torqued caliper bracket bolts do not back themselves out in ~800 miles of light use. Realistic causes: (a) bolts installed but not torqued to spec, worked loose in service; (b) bolts missing at state inspection and certified anyway; (c) suspension disassembled during the pre-sale repair, bracket reassembled with bolts omitted. All implicate Tesla's workmanship; (b) and a visibly-loose (a) also implicate the inspection.  Tesla previously acknowledged this failure mode in recall SB-21-33-002 (\"Loose Brake Caliper Bolts,\" 2019-2021 Model 3 / 2020-2021 Model Y): caliper bolts \"may not be torqued to internal specifications\" and \"may be loose, allowing the brake caliper to separate.\" My vehicle is outside that range but the recall shows this is a known Tesla pattern.  Risk: caliper detachment can wedge the wheel, lock the brake, damage tire/wheel, boil brake fluid, or break free at speed \u2014 any can cause loss of control. Vehicle driven ~800 miles in this condition.  Dealer confirmation pending; Tesla instructed in writing not to repair pre-inspection. State Police ASED complaint filed; formal dispute filed with Tesla Resolutions.","products":[{"type":"Vehicle","productYear":"2023","productMake":"TESLA","productModel":"MODEL Y","manufacturer":"Tesla, Inc."}]}]}
