2024 TESLA MODEL Y — Complaint #2086467

Open-data reference.

NHTSA Complaint about EXTERIOR LIGHTING:TURN SIGNAL filed April 27, 2025

NHTSA complaint #2086467 (ODI reference 11657092) concerns a 2024 TESLA MODEL Y and was filed on April 27, 2025. The owner reports the failure occurred on April 21, 2025. The report was geocoded to California based on the filer's self-reported location. The affected component is categorized as exterior lighting:turn signal, one of NHTSA's standardized taxonomy codes used to group defect patterns across make, model, and year.

The filer flagged the following severity indicators: crash: no, fire: no, injuries: 0, fatalities: 0. No crash, fire, or fatality was associated with this report, which places it in the early-warning stream rather than the priority-review stream. Because a VIN was supplied, this complaint is tied to a specific vehicle and not just a model-year cohort.

Individual complaints are consumer-submitted and unverified by NHTSA engineers — the agency's role at this stage is to collect, index, and make them searchable. What matters for federal action is the pattern: when many owners of the same TESLA MODEL Y cohort independently describe similar exterior lighting:turn signal failures, defect investigators have grounds to open a PE and request manufacturer data. Related filings for the same vehicle and component appear below, and the detail page for the full 2024 TESLA MODEL Y shows the complete component-level complaint distribution alongside any active investigations or recalls.
