Recall letters go to whoever owns the car on paper, which may not be you. Save your 2022 Tesla Model 3 and we will email you the day Transport Canada issues a new recall for it.

Good news: Recall repairs are almost always free. Book with any manufacturer dealer and quote the recall number. Transport Canada’s own wording is that a manufacturer “will almost always make these repairs free of charge”, so being asked to pay for recall work is unusual and worth questioning. Since 2018 the Minister of Transport can order a company to pay for repairs so owners do not bear the cost.
Note: This lookup is by make, model and year, so it lists every recall issued for that vehicle — not all of which will apply to your exact build. A dealer can confirm what is outstanding on your VIN in a minute.

19 August 2026

Transport Canada lists: Model 3 2018–2022 · Model Y 2020–2023

What is wrong

On certain vehicles, the low beam headlights may be too bright. Canadian regulations specify a maximum brightness for low beam headlights.

Why it matters

Low beam headlights that are too bright could cause reduced visibility for the driver and/or glare for oncoming drivers and increase the risk of a crash.

Transport Canada lists: Model 3 2021–2023 · Model S 2021–2023 · Model X 2022–2023 · Model Y 2020–2023

What is wrong

On certain vehicles, a software problem could delay the rearview camera image from displaying when the transmission is shifted into reverse shortly after the vehicle is started. Canadian regulations require the rearview image to display within 2 seconds of shifting the transmission into reverse gear.

Why it matters

A rearview camera image that doesn't display could reduce a driver's ability to see behind the vehicle while backing up. This could increase the risk of a crash.

What the dealer will do

Tesla will notify owners by email. Tesla has released an over-the-air software update to fix this problem. There is no further action required if your vehicle has software release 2026.8.6.1 or a later release.

Transport Canada lists: Model 3 2021–2024 · Model S 2021–2024 · Model X 2022–2024 · Model Y 2020–2024

What is wrong

On certain vehicles, the hood latch assembly could fail and cause the unlatched hood warning not to display on the instrument panel. As a result, you may not be aware that the hood isn't latched properly. If this happens, the hood could open suddenly while driving.

Why it matters

A hood that opens suddenly while driving can block the driver's view and increase the risk of a crash.

What the dealer will do

Tesla will notify affected owners by email. Tesla has released an over-the-air software update to fix this issue. There is no further action required if your vehicle has software release 2024.20.3 or a later release.

Transport Canada lists: Model 3 2018–2023 · Model S 2021–2024 · Model X 2022–2024 · Model Y 2020–2023

What is wrong

On certain vehicles, the seat belt reminder chime and visual warning may not work when you start the vehicle and your seat belt is not buckled. Canadian regulations require both a seat belt reminder sound and visual telltale when a driver is not wearing their seat belt.

Why it matters

A seat belt warning that doesn't work correctly may not remind you to buckle your seat belt. Not wearing your seat belt can increase the risk of injury in a crash.

What the dealer will do

Tesla will notify owners by email and supply an over-the-air software update to activate the seat belt reminder chime and visual warning.

Transport Canada recall 2024283 · manufacturer campaign SB-24-00-007

21 May 2024

Transport Canada lists: Model 3 2018–2024 · Model S 2012–2024 · Model X 2016–2024 · Model Y 2020–2024

What is wrong

A previous over-the-air (OTA) software update could cause the vehicle not to display the correct visual warning indicators when there are problems with the brake system or when the parking brake is applied. As a result, the BRAKE, PARK, and antilock brake system (ABS) visual indicators would display as text instead of symbols.

Why it matters

While there is a low risk to safety, Canadian regulations require visual warnings to use common symbols, instead of words, to avoid driver confusion.

What the dealer will do

Tesla will notify affected owners by email. Tesla has released an over-the-air software update to fix this problem. There is no further action required if your vehicle has software release 2024.3.25, 2024.14.5, or a release later than 2024.14.5.

Transport Canada lists: Model 3 2019–2022 · Model S 2020–2021 · Model Y 2020–2022

What is wrong

On certain vehicles, a software problem could cause the pedestrian warning system not to work. As a result, the vehicle may not produce enough sound to be detected by other road users. New Canadian regulations require electric vehicles to make a minimum sound level when operating at low speeds.

Why it matters

A pedestrian warning system that doesn't work could create an increased risk of injury for other road users.

What the dealer will do

Tesla will notify affected owners by email. Tesla has released an over-the-air software update to fix this problem. There is no further action required if your vehicle has software release 2023.44.30.14 or a software deployed after 2023.44.30.14.

Transport Canada lists: Model 3 2017–2023 · Model S 2012–2023 · Model X 2016–2023 · Model Y 2020–2023

What is wrong

On vehicles equipped with the Autosteer advanced driver-assistance feature, when using the feature, the vehicle may not provide strong enough warnings or monitor the driver closely enough to prevent misuse of the feature.

Why it matters

A driver that doesn't pay close attention while using the Autosteer feature or who doesn't react quickly when Autosteer is canceled could have an increased risk of a crash.

What the dealer will do

Tesla will notify owners by email and supply an over-the-air software update to improve driver monitoring and alerts while using the Autosteer feature. Tesla advises that you must always pay attention and be ready to take control of the vehicle at any time while using the Autosteer advanced driver-assistance feature.

What is wrong

Why it matters

Certain maneuvers performed by the FSD Beta advanced driver assistance feature may break traffic laws. This could increase the risk of a crash if the driver doesn't intervene.

What the dealer will do

Tesla will notify owners by email and supply an over-the-air software update to improve how the FSD Beta feature maneuvers the vehicle in certain traffic situations. Tesla reminds that FSD Beta is only an advanced driver assistance feature, and the driver must pay attention and be ready to take control at all times when the feature is engaged.

Transport Canada recall 2022604 · manufacturer campaign SB-22-20-004

21 October 2022

Transport Canada lists: Model 3 2018–2022

What is wrong

On certain vehicles, the bolt attaching the left-rear seat belt buckle and center-rear seat belt anchorage may not have been reassembled correctly after previous service repair. As a result, the seat belts may not work properly in a crash.

Why it matters

A seat belt that moves or detaches in a crash could create an increased risk of injury.

What the dealer will do

Tesla will notify owners by email and advise you to contact Tesla Service to arrange for an inspection of the left-rear seat belt buckle and center-rear seat belt anchorage bolt. The bolt will be re-tightened, if necessary.

Transport Canada recall 2022528 · manufacturer campaign SB-22-70-002

20 September 2022

Transport Canada lists: Model 3 2018–2022 · Model S 2021–2022 · Model X 2022 · Model Y 2020–2022

What is wrong

The window automatic reversal system may not react correctly after detecting an obstruction. This could cause the window to close with too much force before it stops and retracts. Also, the window may not retract enough after detecting an obstruction. As a result, the power windows do not pass certain tests under Canadian safety regulations.

Why it matters

A window that closes with excessive force could pinch a person and create a risk of injury.

What the dealer will do

Tesla will email a notice to owners and provide an over-the-air firmware update to fix this condition.

What is wrong

On certain vehicles, during fast-charging or preparation for fast-charging, the infotainment central processing unit (CPU) may overheat. This could cause the CPU to be slow or to restart. As a result, the center screen display may lag or appear blank. If this happens, the rearview camera display, windshield wiper and defroster settings, drive modes (i.e., Drive, Neutral, or Reverse), and telltales may not be available.

Why it matters

A driver who does not have access to vehicle systems and controls could have an increased risk of a crash.

What is wrong

Under certain conditions, the seat belt reminder chime may not sound when you start the vehicle and your seat belt is not buckled. Canadian regulations require both a seat belt reminder sound and visual telltale when a driver is not wearing their seat belt.

Why it matters

A seat belt warning that does not work correctly may not remind you to buckle your seat belt. Not wearing your seat belt can increase the risk of injury in a crash.

What the dealer will do

Tesla will email a notice to owners and provide an over-the-air firmware update in early February 2022 to fix this problem. There is no further action required if your vehicle has firmware release 2021.43.101.1 or 2022.4.5, or a later release.
