Buying a used 2025 Tesla Model Y? Check these 3 recalls first

3 NHTSA recalls · 115 owner complaints on file

The 2025 Tesla Model Y has 3 recalls in this group, covering backup camera loss, a tire pressure warning light fault, and a missing vehicle certification label. The record therefore includes an operating visibility concern, a warning indicator issue, and a labeling requirement. Its 110 NHTSA owner complaints are unverified reports, including 50 concerning forward collision avoidance, 27 classified as unknown or other, 22 involving lane departure, and 20 concerning electrical systems. Those reports do not establish a confirmed defect.

Before you buy

1. Get the 17-character VIN from the seller and run it at nhtsa.gov/recalls. It shows which recalls are still unrepaired on that exact car.
2. Verify backup camera recall completion and check image availability.
3. Confirm the tire pressure warning light recall remedy.
4. Check for the certification label and ask about lane departure or collision warnings.
5. Open recalls are repaired free at any Tesla dealer, whoever owns the car — an open recall is a to-do item, not a bill.
