Tesla Model 3 and Model Y recalled over a tyre or wheel defect

Tyres and wheels

On affected vehicles upon detection of a malfunction with the tyre pressure monitoring system (TPMS) the TPMS tell tale does not persist between drive cycles where the vehicle is off or asleep between the drive cycles. Therefore the driver may not be adequately warned of potential under-inflation of the tyres increasing the risk of a collision.

What to do now

The issue is with tyres or wheels, which could lose pressure, crack or come loose.

  1. Enter your registration number on the GOV.UK recall checker, or ask a franchised dealer to check the VIN.
  2. Book the recall work with a franchised dealer for the make. Recall repairs are carried out free of charge.
  3. Make sure the DVLA has your current address, as recall letters go to the registered keeper.

Why it matters. Tyre and wheel failures at speed can cause loss of control.

Repairs and costs

You should not pay for a safety recall repair. Book it with a franchised dealer for the make and take your V5C or registration number.

If you have already paid for a repair to fix the same defect, ask the manufacturer whether it will reimburse you.
