Defect description

Tesla, Inc. (Tesla) is recalling certain 2026 Model Y vehicles. The hose connector may block the windshield washer nozzles, preventing washer fluid from reaching the windshield.

Safety risk

The inability to clean the windshield reduces the driver’s visibility and increases the risk of a crash.
