Tesla is recalling nearly 13k vehicles over a battery defect that could cause sudden power loss.

A potential battery pack contactor defect could cause the EVs to suddenly lose power, as reported by Reuters. Tesla acknowledged in a NHTSA filing that the issue impacts 12,963 2025 Model 3 and 2026 Model Y vehicles manufactured between March 8th and August 15th, 2025.

Affected vehicles are equipped with a battery pack contactor manufactured with InTiCa solenoid which may suddenly open due to poor coil termination connection, potentially causing a sudden loss of propulsion.
