3 recalls for 2 Tesla models in 2023
Tesla has three recalls for two models in the EU Safety Gate (formerly Rapex) system for 2023. Tesla moved from 28th to 27th in the overall ranking year-on-year.
There are three recalls for the Tesla Model X and two for the Model S. The KBA database also contains recalls for other models. The oldest Teslas recalled were made in 2021.
Safety Gate does not provide the numbers of potentially affected cars in its reports, so we always verify them from other sources. Since the beginning of 2023, we have also been monitoring the database of the German Federal Motor Transport Authority (KBA, Kraftfahrt-Bundesamt), which publishes the numbers and also includes Tesla recalls that Safety Gate often does not record. Some of them can be found below. Also new is a link to our other website with Tesla recalls in the USA.

Check also the Service Bulletin (TSB)
This summary is not intended to provide comprehensive information on all Tesla recalls in 2023. Only those that have been reported to the European Safety Gate alert system are listed. In addition to recalls, car manufacturers also carry out so-called service campaigns (Technical Service Bulletin – TSB), which are not reported anywhere and are only carried out on vehicles that arrive at an authorised workshop for servicing. We describe the difference between a recall and a service campaign in more detail in this article. This overview should prompt second-hand owners of older cars to contact an authorised workshop and ask if any recall or service campaign has been announced for a particular car.
