What is being recalled

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 is dangerous

The inability to clean the windshield reduces the driver's visibility and increases the risk of a crash.

The fix (free at any franchised dealer)

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.

Recall repairs are always free, regardless of vehicle age or where you bought the car. Quote the campaign number 25V-359 when calling a dealer.
