brakes EV/Hybrid

The fastening elements that secure the brake calipers to the stub axles may not have been tightened to the correct torque.

As a result, the movement of the wheels can be restricted and subsequently the tyres may lose pressure, increasing the risk of an accident.

The Tesla Model 3 vehicles affected by this recall were manufactured between 16 December 2018 and 17 January 2021.

What should an owner do if there's a recall?

Please note that the recall may not apply to all vehicles produced in a given period. If you think your car might be affected, you should immediately contact a Tesla dealer or workshop officially authorised to perform repairs on behalf of the manufacturer and ask for the details. You can use our sample request text. After reporting the vehicle's VIN code, you will find out if the defect is present on your car, or if it has already been resolved by the previous owner if the car was purchased second-hand.

If you wish to know more about the eventual problems of a specific car (e.g. real mileage, potential traffic accident damages, odometer rollback, repairs, etc.), in that case, we suggest going to this page.

Do you know the year Your car was made? You most likely don't.
