Buying a used 2025 Tesla Model Y? Check these 3 recalls first
The 2025 Model Y has a light recall record so far: a tire pressure warning light fault, possible loss of the backup camera, and a missing weight certification label. Nothing rated high or critical, and no stop-driving or park-outside advisories. Complaints number 98 — unverified owner reports — with 30 crashes, 3 fires and 13 injuries described, concentrated in forward collision avoidance (45) and lane departure (19). Being a recent model year, the record is still short and may grow.
Before you buy
- 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.
- Confirm the backup camera and tire pressure warning light both function normally.
- Look for the weight certification label in the driver's door jamb.
- Test automatic emergency braking and lane-keeping behavior on a highway stretch.
- Open recalls are repaired free at any Tesla dealer, whoever owns the car — an open recall is a to-do item, not a bill.
