Tesla Recalls Some Model Y SUVs Over Dead Horns

Tesla has recalled just five copies of its 2026 Model Y SUV because their horns may not function.

The automaker tells the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) that “a supplier assembly operator may have failed to secure the ring terminal of the horn ground wire, resulting in a loss of continuity for the horn circuit.” Unsecured ground wiring could result in a horn that doesn’t honk.

Tesla is aware of two warranty claims, but no accidents, related to the problem.

To fix the problem, the company will inspect the wiring and secure the ground wire if necessary.

Recall repairs are always free.

Automakers recall many cars every year, sometimes more than once. They try to reach every owner to warn them. However, some fall through the system’s cracks and unknowingly drive recalled cars. Check our easy recall tool to determine if your vehicle has any outstanding recalls.
