Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

Tesla, Inc. is recalling 6 of its 2026 Model Y vehicles because a loose ring terminal on the horn ground wire may prevent the horn from working. An inoperable horn makes it difficult for a driver to alert other drivers or pedestrians, which increases the risk of a collision. Tesla service technicians will replace the steering wheel on affected vehicles free of charge.

Risk

A loose ground wire can cause the electrical circuit to open, causing the horn to fail unexpectedly. If the horn does not sound when needed, the driver cannot warn others of their presence or an impending hazard, increasing the likelihood of a crash.

  1. This recall affects 6 Tesla Model Y vehicles from the 2026 model year where a loose ground wire may prevent the horn from sounding.
