Transport Canada carries this recall as 2026221, dated 5 May 2026. The American register carries the same defect as campaign 26V283, dated 4 May 2026. They are the same defect because the manufacturer filed both under one internal campaign code, SB2600001.

The two registers are 1 day apart: the American entry is dated first, the Canadian one second.
These are the dates each register records against its own notice. They are separate administrative acts in two countries, recorded by two authorities under two sets of rules, and this page does not claim that one caused the other or that owners in either country were contacted on those days. What it shows is that the same manufacturer campaign reached the two registers on different dates.
Read the American notice 26V283, including every earlier version of its wording this site holds. The Canadian register explains why the manufacturer code is published there and what that makes possible. Canada and America sets every matched pair side by side.
Tesla MODEL Y in the other registers
This site holds seven national and European registers. Tesla MODEL Y is named on 39 American notices, 7 British, 5 European, 3 Japanese and 5 Israeli. Those are separate campaigns, filed with separate authorities on their own schedules.
The American register
The British register
- DVSA recall R/2022/006: Tesla Model 3 and Model Y (The front suspension lateral link may be insufficiently torqued)
- DVSA recall R/2022/131: Tesla Model 3 and Model Y (A loss of low voltage system support may cause the audio subsystem...)
- DVSA recall R/2025/002: Tesla Model 3 and Model Y (Update vehicle software to correct TPMS behaviour)
The European register
The Japanese register
The Israeli register
Nothing here says any of these is this notice in another country. A model recalled in one country is often recalled in another, in different words and at a different time, and the authorities do not cross-reference each other. Reading them together is the reason this site holds more than one register.

Issue:
On certain vehicles, a software problem could delay the rearview camera image from displaying when the transmission is shifted into reverse shortly after the vehicle is started. Canadian regulations require the rearview image to display within 2 seconds of shifting the transmission into reverse gear.Safety Risk:
A rearview camera image that doesn't display could reduce a driver's ability to see behind the vehicle while backing up. This could increase the risk of a crash.Corrective Actions:
Tesla will notify owners by email. Tesla has released an over-the-air software update to fix this problem. There is no further action required if your vehicle has software release 2026.8.6.1 or a later release.
The wording above is the department's own, as it stood in the monthly file this site last read. Vehicle counts are the sum of the counts published for each make and model the recall covers. To act on a recall, use the official notice: Transport Canada recall 2026221.

Reading this against the source
This page is what Transport Canada published in the Vehicle Recalls Database, kept as it was read. The authority publishes only its current wording; if a notice is rewritten, the earlier version disappears there and is kept here. The whole register is at /canada, and how the reading is done is set out in the method.
What the words on this notice mean — the system it is filed under, and what the filing type says about who found the fault.
This notice names one vehicle among several registers that have written about it. Every notice this site holds for the Tesla Model X, in all seven, is kept on that vehicle's own page, with the newest in each.
This register keeps an index of its own for every maker and every year it holds: Canadian recalls on a Tesla: 51 in the register, and 405 Canadian vehicle recalls filed in 2026.
