2022 TESLA MODEL Y Recalls — Canada & USA

The 2022 Tesla Model Y has 5 recalls, the most serious involving suspension knuckles that can fracture and cause the suspension links to separate, reducing vehicle stability, and a steering wheel fastener that can loosen and allow the steering wheel to detach from the column entirely, leaving the driver with no steering control. On the safety equipment side, the bolts anchoring the second-row seat back frames may not have been fully tightened, which can allow the seat to shift in a crash and reduce the effectiveness of the rear seatbelts. Visibility is also a concern, as one or both taillights can intermittently fail to illuminate, making the vehicle harder for other drivers to see. There is also a software recall affecting vehicles equipped with Autosteer: under certain conditions the system may not adequately detect when a driver is not paying attention or is unprepared to take over, which can allow hands-free operation to continue in situations that require the driver to intervene.
