What the reviewed source says
Start with the documented condition, not a parts guess.
NHTSA lists the 2022 Tesla Model Y in safety campaign 23V385000. The official record says: The steering wheel fastener may be loose. The stated safety consequence is: A loose fastener may allow the steering wheel to disconnect from the steering column, which can cause a loss of steering control and increase the risk of a crash. A make, model and year match does not confirm that a specific VIN is included or that the repair remains open.

A VIN search checks the displayed NHTSA records for an unrepaired safety recall associated with one vehicle. A model search shows only the wider campaign population.
Read guide ↗When a car is unsafe
A warning light does not always mean the same thing, but weak brakes or smoke leave little room for experimentation. Damaged tires and certain recall instructions can do the same.
Read guide ↗Why symptoms overlap
“It makes a weird noise” is useful human language. Diagnosis begins when that language is tied to the exact vehicle and its operating conditions.
