Summary

Tesla, Inc. is recalling 27 of its 2024 Model Y vehicles because the weld attaching the front seat recliner mechanism to the seat back frame may be defective. This failure can prevent the seat back from remaining in its intended position during use. To fix this, Tesla service technicians will replace the entire affected seat assembly free of charge.

Risk

The seat back frame may fail to properly restrain the occupant during a crash, which significantly increases the risk of injury for the driver or passenger.
