Overview
- Australia’s Department of Infrastructure confirmed an official recall covering all 2025-stamped Model Y variants, totaling 7,301 vehicles.
- The driver-side automatic window may not detect obstructions and can close with excessive force, increasing the risk of injury, though no injuries have been confirmed.
- Tesla will contact owners directly, with the defect remedied via a remote software update that does not require a service visit.
- Vehicles already on software version 2025.26.6 or later are not affected, and owners can verify their build under Controls > Software on the touchscreen.
- The action follows a similar recall in New Zealand on 26 August and mirrors a 2022 U.S. recall of nearly 1.1 million Teslas, marking Tesla’s second Australian recall this year and contributing to 17 recalls since 2021, mostly software-related.
