Factory specifications, fluid capacities, torque values, EPA fuel economy and the federal safety record for the 2022 Y.
The 2022 Tesla Y is an all-electric crossover that, despite its advanced powertrain, has accumulated 827 owner complaints and 19 recalls, with the most frequent issue involving the Forward Collision Avoidance system. This model year stands out as a particularly troubled point in the Y’s reliability history, as the high volume of both complaints and recalls signals persistent quality-control challenges that researchers should weigh when assessing long-term dependability.

Owner-reported issues, recalls, investigations and service bulletins on record with NHTSA — an unfiltered look at what owners actually experience.
Owner complaints about the 2022 Tesla Y lead in one area — the forward collision avoidance, 224 of 827 reports (27%), well ahead of the next concern. NHTSA has issued no recalls for this vehicle, so these are owner-reported concerns only. 80 of the reports describe a crash and 8 a fire — a small share of the total, but worth weighing against the forward collision avoidance pattern above. These are tallies of what owners actually reported to the federal government, not an editorial score — and higher-selling models naturally rack up more reports.
