Which vehicles
A recall reaches a range of VINs inside these model years, not every car built in them. Yours may not be covered even if it is listed here, and the only way to find out is NHTSA's own VIN lookup .
How this campaign compares
At 12,963 vehicles this is a bigger campaign than 81% of the 19,818 vehicle recalls filed since 1995 whose size NHTSA published. The middle campaign on file covers 472. It covers model years 2025 to 2026, and the defect was reported to NHTSA in 2025, at or before the oldest model year it covers — as current as a recall gets.
Tesla vehicles have been recalled over the electrical system 14 times before this, most recently in October 2025 as 25V658000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
This site holds the complaint record for all 2 model years the campaign names. Their owners have filed 441 complaints with NHTSA, 102 of them before this campaign was filed. 69 of those name the electrical system, the system this recall is about — a count of complaints, not of this defect.
The vehicles on this campaign carry 9 other recalls published here, the newest being: 26V558000 (suspension), 26V445000 (structure), 26V315000 (equipment), 25V658000 (electrical system).
Check your own car
A VIN check is the only answer for a specific vehicle, and it also shows every other open recall on it, which is usually the reason it is worth doing rather than reading one campaign.
