NHTSA Safety Ratings About NHTSA ratings
Reliability Overview
The 2020-2024 Model Y is Tesla's volume crossover and carries one of the heaviest fatality counts in this reliability database. NHTSA shows 3,356 owner complaints, 32 recall campaigns, 295 injuries, and 106 deaths attributed to defects across five model years. The Model Y has no engine. Its complaint record reflects a different set of failure modes: driver-assistance behavior, electric-drivetrain bugs, and assembly-line defects from a fast-ramped production run.
The single largest pattern in the complaint record is the 'Safety Systems' category at 1,942 reports, accounting for 58% of the generation's complaint volume. These are Autopilot disengagements, Full Self-Driving misbehavior, automatic emergency braking false-positives, and the phantom-braking pattern that has its own established NHTSA investigation history. Brake complaints (508) and steering complaints (345) overlap heavily with the same software stack. Electrical complaints (417) cover touchscreen freezes, 12-volt battery deaths that strand the vehicle even with the high-voltage pack at full charge, and infotainment unresponsiveness.
Software OTAs dominate the 32-recall count: FSD rolling-stop behavior (22V037), Autosteer driver-misuse mitigation (23V838), Pedestrian Warning System mute defects (22V063, 22V235, 24V153), and the camera/display recalls (25V002, 24V051, 24V035, plus 26V283 from May 2026). Mechanical assembly defects from the early Fremont ramp account for the most serious campaigns: front and rear suspension knuckle fracture (21V912), front upper control arm detachment (20V709), lateral-link fastener failure (21V835 and 22V895), and brake caliper bolts that may separate at the wheel rim (21V387). Hardware faults include the electronic power steering printed circuit board overstress (25V092) and the pyrotechnic battery disconnect defect (23V434).
For shoppers cross-shopping the Model Y against the Mustang Mach-E, Kia EV6, Hyundai Ioniq 5, or Polestar 2, this generation trades a deeper charging network and stronger software platform against a 106-fatality record and a heavy slate of mechanical recalls from the early Fremont production years. The 2020 model year shows up in the most early-build campaigns (suspension knuckles, control arms, brake caliper bolts, seat belt anchors, exterior lighting), reflecting the rush to volume production. 2023 and 2024 builds, including the structural giga-cast rear underbody that came online at the Austin plant, carry their own software-era recalls but a cleaner structural record.
The Model Y is not a recommendation the reliability data can support. Buyers who want one anyway should treat the 32-recall list as homework and the 106-death figure as a serious read on the gap between Autopilot's marketing and the crash record, not a footnote.

Sample complaint excerpts
12V Auxiliary Battery
- [2023] My 2023 Tesla Model Y suddenly became inaccessible via key card and phone key with no prior warning. The tow operator successfully jump-started the vehicle with a 12V jump and it powered on — suggesting a 12V battery failure, not an HV system failure. Tesla diagnosed water ingress in the HV battery pack and HV harness, citing an isolation resistance fault and open flood port. Their conclusion esca

Thermal Events
- [2023] On Memorial Day weekend, my car was parked outside, and apparently back passenger window was left open, which caused the backseat area of the car to be soaked in water. We noticed that in the morning, and parked the car inside the garage, and kept the door and windows open so it could dry quickly. However, a few hours later, around 4:30 pm, the car caught fire while parked in the garage. We called

- [2023] This is my 8th report. Just after my 7th report, in May 2025, I had my tires rotated at 25,000ish miles. The car still did not record that still shows the last rotation at 8,000 miles. Furthermore, I was told at Discount Tire that I needed new tires because the tread was so thin. I was aghast...a new Tesla with tires that wear out at 25,000 miles? I was told that Tesla does not provide adequa
- [2023] I bought a 2023 Tesla Long-range Y in June 2023 at Tesla Santa Fe, New Mexico. I have had trouble with the brakes applying on their own during cruise control. It was very scary the first time it happened, but luckily there was very little traffic on the 2-lane highway I was traveling on. The Tesla dealer in Santa Fe told me they don't have a software fix yet and he simply avoids cruise control.
- [2023] Steering wheel locked up one morning and immediately reported it to Tesla and they corrected it, but it seems like they just did a flush of the system. Not sure if there is still some fundamental flow. Charging port also kept on not responding either which basically makes the vehicle unable to move if it can't be charged.
Regenerative Braking
- [2023] The vehicle's steering wheel vibrates regardles driving on highways/freeways and/or city streets. It happens since day 1 of ownership and has been owning for 4 months now. The vehicle's screen got blacked out twice when it was moving; thus, i couldn't read speed and perfom other functions such as turn on AC and/or heat. The regenerative braking/one pedal driving sometimes does not work. It some
- [2021] 1. Under certain circumstances, the vehicle is able to decelerate using its regenerative braking system without illuminating the brake lights. This occurs during "one pedal driving" where the operator is driving only using the throttle to both accelerate and decelerate the car, without the input of mechanical brakes. This is a programming issue, not a mechanical issue. The brake lights are "trigg
- [2021] While driving cross country on interstate highways using cruise control my car would try to stop itself. During a 500+ mile day it would do this 10x per day. Most times hard enough to engage seat beats. There has been no inspection. Tesla is denying a problem. The danger is if someone is following too close they could resend me. I was never in traffic when this happens. Never anyone in fron

Buyer's Guide
On data alone there is no clean recommended year. Every Model Y produced 2020-2024 has at least one of the 32 NHTSA recalls applicable to some VINs in its build window, and the worst-rated structural recalls (suspension knuckles, control arms, lateral links, brake caliper bolts) concentrate on 2020-2022 builds. 2023 and later cars get the giga-cast Austin underbody and cleaner mechanical assembly, but those years carry more software-era recalls (rearview camera issues, FSD safety, electronic power steering circuit overstress). The single most-affected year is 2020 itself, which appears in the most early-build mechanical campaigns.
Before buying any 2020-2024 Model Y, run the VIN through Tesla's mobile app or the NHTSA VIN lookup and confirm every applicable recall has been completed. For 2020-2022 cars in particular, verify the suspension knuckle replacement (21V912), front upper control arm inspection (20V709), lateral-link fastener torque check (21V835), and brake caliper bolt inspection (21V387) are all closed. For all years, document the current Autopilot and FSD software version against the most recent OTA recall list. The FSD-related campaigns are remedied by software update only; if the car was bought used and last updated by a prior owner, the version may be out of date.
On the used market, the Model Y depreciates faster than its German or Korean EV peers but the maintenance story is cleaner: no engine, no transmission to service, and brake pads that last longer thanks to regenerative braking. The trade-off is the recall and software complexity, which buyers should weigh against the gap between Autopilot's advertised capabilities and its NHTSA investigation history.
