Tesla recalled 26 of its 2023 Model 3 and Model Y vehicles on June 19, 2023, for issues with its pyrotechnic battery. The NHTSA said in its report that the vehicles may have been produced without a functioning pyrotechnic battery disconnect.

According to the safety recall report, the battery isolates the high-voltage battery when detecting certain collisions and could increase the risk of injury.

Tesla replaced the battery disconnect on all affected vehicles, free of charge to the customer.
