Tesla keeps recalling its cars. Here's the list of all its recalls so far

In 2023, Tesla was noted for its high accident risk due to persistent vehicle glitches. The company has had a history of recalls for a wide range of issues, with the most recent instance being on January 5 due to problems with the Autopilot driver assistance system and door latch controls during collisions. Tesla has recalled almost all of its models at least once due to a variety of issues ranging from steering malfunctions and defective rear-view cameras to faults in mounting brackets, Autopilot failures, weak seats, steering wheels coming off, and problematic suspension parts amongst others.

The Model Y by Tesla was the most recalled vehicle in the US over the past decade according to a study by US automotive research firm iSeeCars. Analyzing car recalls from 2014 to 2023, it was discovered that Tesla had numerous recalls between September 2020 and November 2023 according to data from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA). Tesla's Model 3, X, and S were also noted in the iSeeCars study.

There's been numerous Tesla recalls since the company's establishment in 2003. A list of these recalls ranges from a sessile of Model S cars due to a flawed mounting bracket in 2013 to recalls of 90,000 Model S cars for faulty seat belts and 2,700 Model X vehicles for seat issues in 2016 and 2017.

Recalls also included Model 3 vehicles built in August of a certain year due to absent air bag warning labels on sun visors, and a recall of 6,000 2019 2021 Model 3 and 2020 2021 Model Y cars because a loose bolt could potentially cause a loss of tire pressure.

In another instance, 17 2017 2021 Model S, Model 3, Model X, and 2020 2021 Model Y vehicles were recalled because of a potential communication error that may cause the automatic emergency brake system to unexpectedly activate. A safety recall was also issued for 422 Model 3 cars due to a loose or detachable front suspension lateral link fastener.

More than 2 million vehicles were recalled in the US to implement new safeguards in the Autopilot advanced driver assistance system, following NHTSA's expression of safety concerns.

Even the Tesla Cybertruck was not without its struggles, as the US Forest Service warned owners after the vehicle struggled to climb up a snow-covered off-road hill. Over 120,000 Model S and Model X vehicles in the US were recalled in connection to doors unlocking and opening during a crash.

Tesla's biggest recall in China, its second-largest market, involved 1.61 million Model S, X, 3, and Y vehicles due to problems with the Autopilot system and door latch controls during collisions.
