A recall affects 7,301 2025 Tesla Model Y vehicles in Australia due to a software defect in the driver-side window automatic protection system. The defect can allow the window to close with excessive force on obstructions, increasing the risk of injury to a vehicle occupant. Drivers can verify whether a vehicle is affected by checking the touchscreen software version; 2025.26.6 or later is not affected. Owners of impacted vehicles will receive written notification and an over-the-air software update from Tesla. Previous incidents and early electric-window designs underscore the importance of obstruction sensors. Australian Automobile Association data show a BEV popularity spike in Q2 2025.
Due to a software issue, the driver side window's automatic protection system may not operate as intended and result in the window closing with excessive force on any obstruction such as a body part. If a body part is in the window space when the driver's side window is closing, it can increase the risk of injury to a vehicle occupant.
The affected vehicle is the 2025 Model Y, and 7,301 units within the model range could be afflicted with what the Australian government is delicately calling a "software issue." Because this is a software issue, drivers can check if their vehicle is affected by jabbing the touchscreen (assuming their fingers have not been reduced to stumps) and checking the software version. 2025.26.6 or later is not affected. Owners of affected vehicles will be contacted in writing by Tesla and will receive an over-the-air (OTA) update.
