Years on file

Tesla, Inc. has filed 79 recall campaigns with NHTSA between February 5, 2020 and September 1, 2026, covering up to 12,695,207 vehicles in total. The system it has been back to most is electrical system, named in 14 of them (18%). The busiest year was 2022, with 19 campaigns. 29 of the campaigns were remedied by a software update rather than a workshop visit.

A vehicle covered by two campaigns is counted in both, so the total above is a sum of campaign populations and not a count of distinct vehicles. Campaigns where the manufacturer had not yet reported a population contribute nothing to it.
