SUSPENSION:CRITICAL FASTENERS
- The defect
- Tesla, Inc. (Tesla) is recalling certain 2026 Model Y vehicles. One or more front suspension lateral link fasteners may not have been properly tightened, allowing the lateral link to loosen or separate from the sub-frame.
- What it can cause
- A lateral link separation could shift the wheel alignment, causing a loss of vehicle control and increasing the risk of a crash.
- What the dealer does
- Tesla Service will tighten or replace the fasteners and check wheel the alignment, free of charge. In addition, Tesla Service will replace any related parts that may have been damaged as necessary. Owner notification letters are expected to be mailed October 30, 2026. Owners may contact Tesla customer service at 1-877-798-3752. Tesla's number for this recall is SB-26-31-004.
The repair is free, whatever the age or mileage of the vehicle, and whether or not you are the original owner.
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 19 vehicles this is a small campaign: 87% of the 19,818 vehicle recalls filed since 1995 whose size NHTSA published are as large or larger. The middle campaign on file covers 472. It covers one model year, 2026, and the defect was reported to NHTSA in 2026, at or before the oldest model year it covers — as current as a recall gets.
Tesla vehicles have been recalled over the suspension 5 times before this, most recently in March 2023 as 23V235000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
This site holds the complaint record for all 1 model year the campaign names. Their owners have filed 328 complaints with NHTSA, 271 of them before this campaign was filed. 29 of those name the suspension, the system this recall is about — a count of complaints, not of this defect. The earliest of them reached NHTSA in May 2025, 1 year before this filing.
The vehicles on this campaign carry 7 other recalls published here, the newest being: 26V445000 (structure), 26V315000 (equipment), 25V690000 (electrical system), 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.
Filed by Tesla, Inc. with NHTSA on September 1, 2026 as campaign 26V558000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
