What This Recall Means

Component

STRUCTURE:BODY:BUMPERS

What Happened
Your 2024 Model 3 or 2026 Model Y has a critical safety feature missing: knee airbags. It also might not meet safety tests for bumper impacts and interior safety. This is because it was originally built for a different market.
Risk if Unfixed
If you're in a crash, you could be more likely to get hurt because your vehicle doesn't meet the necessary safety standards. This is a serious issue that you should address immediately.

How to Get This Fixed

Free Fix
Tesla will buy back your vehicle at no cost to you. You'll receive a notice by September 5, 2026, with instructions on how to proceed. You can also contact Tesla directly at 1-877-798-3752 or resolutions@tesla.com for more information.

Is YOUR vehicle affected?

This page lists the models and model years named in NHTSA campaign #26V445000.

The authoritative way to know is a VIN check against NHTSA's own records.
