Tesla's own number for this recall: SB-26-31-004. That is the number on the owner letter and on the dealer paperwork. 26V558 is the number NHTSA gave the same campaign, and the number this page is filed under. They are one recall, written two ways.
What the authority says can happen if this is not fixed: “A lateral link separation could shift the wheel alignment, causing a loss of vehicle control and increasing the risk of a crash.”

What the notice says today
The defect
Tesla, Inc. (Tesla) is recalling certain 2026 Model Y vehicles. One or more front suspension lateral link fasteners may not have been properly tightened, allowing the lateral link to loosen or separate from the sub-frame.
The consequence
A lateral link separation could shift the wheel alignment, causing a loss of vehicle control and increasing the risk of a crash.
The remedy
Tesla Service will tighten or replace the fasteners and check wheel the alignment, free of charge. In addition, Tesla Service will replace any related parts that may have been damaged as necessary. Owner notification letters are expected to be mailed October 30, 2026. Owners may contact Tesla customer service at 1-877-798-3752. Tesla's number for this recall is SB-26-31-004.
What it said before
Nothing has changed while we have been watching. We last read the wording of this campaign on 9 September 2026, and it matched the copy we already held.
