Complete Strut Assembly Pair for the 2017–2025 Tesla Model 3

What 2017–2025 Model 3 owners report about the suspension

Owners have filed 11 complaints with NHTSA, the US federal vehicle-safety regulator, that mention the struts on the 2017–2025 Tesla Model 3, and 360 filed under its suspension. Those 11, by model year, as of September 18, 2026:

• 2017 Model 3: none
• 2018 Model 3: 4 complaints
• 2019 Model 3: 1 complaint
• 2020 Model 3: 1 complaint
• 2021 Model 3: 1 complaint
• 2022 Model 3: 3 complaints
• 2023 Model 3: 1 complaint
• 2024 Model 3: none
• 2025 Model 3: none

NHTSA publishes complaints as owners wrote them and does not verify them, so read them as a pattern rather than a diagnosis.

A 2018 Model 3 owner, NHTSA complaint 11669332: "My car started having loud noises and suspension on both side of my car started making noises and both control arms along with sway barrings and struts are gone bad."

A 2021 Model 3 owner, NHTSA complaint 11763100: "The contact owns a 2021 Tesla Model 3. The contact stated that the trunk strut failed, and the lift fractured, causing the rear glass to crack. There was a long crack from the edge to the top of the glass. The contact's husband cut the strut because the vehicle could not be driven with the truck ajar."

Recalls that cover the complete strut pair on the 2017–2025 Model 3

As of September 18, 2026, NHTSA lists no recall on the 2017–2025 Tesla Model 3 whose defect is in the complete strut pair. If your car has a warning light or a symptom that a recall could explain, check the VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls anyway — it takes a minute.

Which complete strut pair a 2017–2025 Model 3 takes

Struts differ by drivetrain, spring rate and trim, and cars with adaptive damping need a strut wired for it. The 2017–2025 Tesla Model 3 came with several powertrains, among them Electric Single-speed AWD and Electric Single-speed RWD. That is why we ask for the VIN, or the year, engine and trim, and confirm the part against it before you pay rather than after it arrives.
