Tesla is recalling certain 2026 Model Y vehicles with reverse lights that may fail to illuminate, increasing crash risk. Owners must contact Tesla for free repair.
Reverse lights that fail to illuminate reduce visibility and may not alert pedestrians or other drivers that the vehicle is backing up, increasing the risk of a crash.
Tesla is recalling some 2026 Model Y vehicles because reverse lights might not turn on while backing up. This could cause crashes by not alerting pedestrians or other drivers.
Reverse lights that don't work while the vehicle is in reverse can't warn pedestrians or other drivers that the car is moving backward. This increases the chance of a crash because the vehicle isn't visible to people behind it.
Owners of 2026 Tesla Model Y vehicles are affected. Pedestrians and other drivers are at higher risk when reversing due to reduced visibility.
