2022 Tesla Model Y
Model year 2022: every recall NHTSA’s file names for it, the complaints owners made to NHTSA, and its crash ratings.
Watch and the shortlist are kept with a free account, on every device. Your watch list. NHTSA’s recall lookup is on nhtsa.gov.
The short answer
From NHTSA’s files, copied Nov 5, 2026.
- 20 recalls naming it in NHTSA’s file (needs attention)
- 877 owner complaints to NHTSA
- Not rated in NHTSA’s crash tests
A recall covers the vehicles it names, by build date where NHTSA gives one. Your VIN says which are open on yours.
Is your vehicle in one of these recalls?
No public file says which recalls are still open on one vehicle. NHTSA’s lookup does, from its VIN.
The VIN goes to NHTSA, never to Hearth Record.
What recalls name it?
20 recalls for the 2022 Tesla Model Y in NHTSA’s file, newest first. Each covers the vehicles it names; your VIN says if yours is one.
None carries NHTSA’s advice not to drive it or to park outside.

How did it do in crash tests?
NHTSA hasn’t rated the 2022 Tesla Model Y in its 5-Star Safety Ratings. That says nothing about how it would do.

What the record doesn’t say
- Which recalls are still open on one vehicle: only NHTSA’s lookup, with its VIN, says that.
- How serious each complaint was, or whether it was confirmed: complaints aren’t findings.
Hearth Record wrote these lines.
