Read the recall link:

Watch the YT video.

Telsa made bad engineering choices on this vehicle. There's no point defending it.

Is it because your world view fractures with a fallible Musk?

I know what happened, no thanks to Wired. ;)

Original point being, Wired is (best case) bad at proofreading and worst case trying to lie by omission and imply that this actually happened, while "merrily driving along" no less. In reality no such failure occurred.

TL;DR however much you distrust the media, it's not enough...
