Tesla is one of only two brand hubs that span more than one regulator. Its 15 recall events come from both NHTSA and the CPSC — the NHTSA vehicle campaigns plus CPSC records tied to Tesla-branded products. Most classify as vehicle-crash hazards. The events span 2024–2026.
Because the records cross two agencies, use the agency badge on each row to see which regulator issued it. Each row links to the original NHTSA campaign page or CPSC notice. For Tesla vehicles the NHTSA VIN lookup carries the full history; the dataset here covers model years 2024–2026.
How this hub is built. This page collects 15 recall events tied to Tesla in the current 411 Press recall dataset. A note on counting. The three agencies package recalls differently. NHTSA issues one record per safety campaign; the CPSC issues one per recall; the FDA issues one per affected product line, so a single FDA recall can appear as dozens of records. Counting raw records would push FDA-heavy brands artificially to the top. The counts here are recall EVENTS — distinct agency events — with the FDA product-line record total shown alongside wherever the two differ. Records are grouped by a normalized version of the recalling firm's name (normalizer version 2026-07-28.C3.2). Parent, subsidiary, and "doing business as" relationships are not merged unless the agency data states them, so a corporate family can appear under more than one name. Regulators for these records: NHTSA and CPSC. They were published 2024–2026. Coverage note for vehicles: this dataset queries NHTSA for model years 2024–2026 only. Recalls on older vehicles exist but are not included here — a 2020 model's recalls are legitimately absent. Check the NHTSA VIN lookup for a vehicle's complete recall history. An event count reflects how much recall activity fell inside the current dataset — not a ranking of relative safety. Larger manufacturers and higher-volume product lines generate more recall activity. This is the current dataset, not an all-time total, and it grows as new notices are ingested. Every row links to the original agency notice.
