Tesla Is Recalling 15 Cars For Being Too Canadian

Tesla is recalling a shockingly small number of Model 3 and Model Y models, only 15 in total. But fret not, Tesla owners, as this isn't a widespread issue, nor is it an immediate safety concern. Instead Tesla is recalling 15 cars simply because they're Canadian.

The Model 3 and Model Y are both built in a few different plants around the world, including Shanghai and Berlin. And they're built to comply with the safety standards of the country they're headed to. Canada has slightly different safety requirements than the U.S., so when a few Canadian models squeezed through to the U.S., they failed to comply with our standards. So Tesla is buying them back from the customers, and they'll be able to re-order new ones that are built for American safety standards.
