Concern

Loss of Reverse Light Recall

Defect, as DVSA words it

On affected vehicles one or both reverse lamps may fail to switch on when the driver selects reverse gear due to a loss of continuity in the rear lamp circuit.

Remedy, as DVSA words it

Inspect rear lamp housing and wiring harness and repair or replace the defective components as necessary.

What changed since we first read it

Nothing yet. The wording has been the same on every read since 4 September 2026. The file is read again every day; if DVSA rewrites the defect, remedy or concern, the old and new text will appear here with both dates.

Tesla MODEL Y in the other registers

This site holds seven national and European registers. Tesla MODEL Y is named on 39 American notices, 22 Canadian, 5 European, 3 Japanese and 5 Israeli. Those are separate campaigns, filed with separate authorities on their own schedules.

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.

Tesla elsewhere in this register

Tesla is named on 26 notices in the copy of the DVSA’s register held here, of which these are the nearest to this one in time.

Reading this against the source

This page is what the DVSA published in its file of vehicle recalls, 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 /uk-recalls, and how the reading is done is set out in the method.

This notice names one vehicle among several registers that have written about it. Every notice this site holds for the Tesla Model Y, in all seven, is kept on that vehicle's own page, with the newest in each.
