Tesla Recalls — Canada & USA

Tesla has 39 models with recall activity in our database, spanning 2008 through 2026. Across those models, 219 recall campaigns are recorded, with 53% falling into the Critical or High tiers under the severity rating system. Critical recalls involve consequences such as loss of vehicle control, fire risk, or serious injury potential, while High recalls cover significant safety concerns that fall just short of that threshold. A recent Critical recall affects 2024 Cybertruck vehicles, where wheel stud separation can cause a loss of vehicle control and increase the risk of a crash.

The Model S leads the lineup with 57 recalls on record, followed closely by the Model X at 50 and the Model 3 at 47. Together those three models account for more than two-thirds of all recall campaigns in the database for this make. Medium tier recalls represent 29% of the total, covering issues that carry meaningful but more moderate risk, while Low tier recalls make up 18%. A single recall falls into the Informational tier, which involves no direct safety defect but rather guidance or clarification issued to owners or dealers. The concentration of Critical and High activity across the lineup reflects the breadth of issues logged here, from software and driver assistance systems to structural and powertrain concerns spanning nearly two decades of production.
