Tesla recall questions

How do I check Tesla recalls by VIN?

Enter your 17-character VIN in the free recall checker above. We query NHTSA's recall database and return every open safety recall for your specific Tesla, including the defect, risk, and remedy. Recall repairs are performed free at any authorized Tesla dealer.

Are Tesla recall repairs free?

Yes. Federal law requires manufacturers to fix safety recalls free of charge at authorized dealers, generally for vehicles up to 15 years old from the date of sale. Parts, labor, or a replacement/refund remedy cost the owner nothing.

Where is the VIN on my Tesla?

Through the windshield at the driver-side dashboard corner, on the driver-side door jamb sticker, and on your registration, title, and insurance card.

Does a used Tesla still have open recalls?

Often, yes — completion rates for recalls are far from 100%, and used vehicles change hands with repairs never performed. Always run a VIN recall check before buying a used Tesla, and pair it with a full history report for accidents, title brands, and odometer records.
