Tesla 2025-2026 Model Y Vehicles Missing Certification Label

Tesla is recalling certain 2025 and 2026 Model Y vehicles because the certification label may not have been installed. Missing weight information on the label could lead to vehicle overloading and increase crash risk.

What this means for you

Minor labeling or packaging issue, or a voluntary precautionary recall. Risk of harm is low but real — follow the manufacturer's instructions.

Our severity reasoning: This is a labeling defect with no reported crashes or injuries. The hazard is regulatory non-compliance and potential risk of overloading rather than an active safety defect, making it a precautionary moderate-severity recall.

Plain-English summary

Tesla, Inc. is recalling certain 2025 and 2026 Model Y vehicles. The certification label required by federal regulation (49 C.F.R. Part 567) may not have been installed on these vehicles.

Without the certification label, the vehicle does not display required weight information. Missing weight information may lead to unintentional overloading of the vehicle, which increases the risk of a crash.

Tesla Service will inspect each recalled vehicle and install the certification label as necessary, free of charge. Owner notification letters are expected to be mailed July 17, 2026. Owners may contact Tesla customer service at 1-877-798-3752 for more information. Tesla's recall number is SB-26-19-002.
