Tesla, Inc. is recalling approximately 48 of its 2026 Model 3 and Model Y vehicles because the fasteners that connect the seat back to the seat bottom may not have been tightened correctly. Tesla Service Centers will inspect these fasteners and either tighten or replace them as needed at no cost to the owner. Owner notification letters were mailed on August 16, 2025.
If the seat assembly fasteners are not properly tightened, the seat may fail to properly restrain an occupant during a collision, which increases the risk of injury during a crash.
