Tesla Recall Information

NHTSA maintains a comprehensive database of Tesla vehicle recalls dating back decades. Safety recalls are issued when Tesla or NHTSA determines that a vehicle has a safety-related defect or does not comply with federal safety standards. All Tesla recall repairs are performed free of charge at any authorized Tesla dealership.

Common reasons for Tesla recalls include issues with airbag inflators, fuel systems, steering components, braking systems, and electronic systems. When a recall is announced, Tesla owners are notified by mail, but many vehicle owners miss these notifications — especially when buying a used car.

To check if your Tesla has an open recall, use the VIN lookup tool on our homepage. Your 17-digit VIN can be found on the driver's side dashboard (visible through the windshield) or on the driver's side door jamb sticker.
