NHTSA recall 26V507000
Exterior Lighting · Tesla, Inc.
Details
What's wrong: Tesla, Inc. (Tesla) is recalling certain 2017-2023 Model 3 and 2020-2023 Model Y vehicles. The headlight low beams may be too bright and exceed the maximum light output. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (fmvss) number 108, "lamps, reflective devices, and associated equipment."
Why it matters: Headlight low beams that are too bright can reduce visibility for oncoming drivers, increasing the risk of a crash.
The fix: Tesla service will replace the headlights, free of charge. Owner notification letters are expected to be mailed October 3, 2026.
