2026 Tesla Model Y: Visibility recall
NHTSA campaign 25V359000 · 172 units potentially affected · filed May 29, 2025
What's wrong
Tesla, Inc. (Tesla) is recalling certain 2026 Model Y vehicles. The hose connector may block the windshield washer nozzles, preventing washer fluid from reaching the windshield. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 104, "Windshield Wiping and Washing Systems."
Why it matters
The inability to clean the windshield reduces the driverâs visibility and increases the risk of a crash.
The fix
Tesla service will inspect and replace the wiper arm elbow connector as necessary, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed July 25, 2025. Owners may contact Tesla customer service at 1-877-798-3752. Tesla's number for this recall is SB-25-20-001.
