Component: Structure (body, door)
Semi model years: 2022 · about 36 vehicles in the whole campaign
The problem: Tesla, Inc. (Tesla) is recalling certain 2023 Semi vehicles. The door open warning indicator only displays when the vehicle's parking brake is not engaged and the side door is not fully latched. In addition, the door closure warning system allows the operator to dismiss the notification that the side door is unlatched, which could result in driving with an unsecured door. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 206, "Door Locks and Door Retention Components."
The risk: An operator may be unaware of an unsecured door and begin driving, increasing the risk of injury to occupants.
The fix: Tesla has released an over-the-air (OTA) software update, free of charge. All affected vehicles were repaired by June 2023. Owners may contact Tesla customer service at 1-877-798-3752.

Component: Parking brake
Semi model years: 2022 · about 35 vehicles in the whole campaign
The problem: Tesla, Inc. (Tesla) is recalling certain 2023 Semi trucks. The electronic parking brake valve module (PVM) may fail to move into the park position when the parking brake is activated.
The risk: A parking brake that is not engaged as expected when the driver releases the brakes may allow the vehicle to rollaway, increasing the risk of crash.
The fix: Tesla service will replace the PVM, free of charge. All affected vehicles were repaired by April 10, 2023. Owners may contact Tesla customer service at 1-877-798-3752. Tesla's number for this recall is SB-23-33-001.
How to check if your Semi has an open recall
- Find the 17-character VIN on the driver-side dashboard (visible through the windshield), the door-jamb sticker, or your registration.
- Enter it in the free VIN recall check. It queries NHTSA for your exact vehicle, not just the model.
- If a recall is open, call any Tesla dealer's service department to book the free repair. Bring the recall number from the list above.
- Buying used? Ask the seller for the dealer's recall-completion printout before you pay.
Or browse by year, for example the 2022 Tesla Semi recall check.
