Tesla bulletin SB-25-11-007

Tesla filed this with NHTSA as a service bulletin dated Jun 12, 2026, received Jul 2, 2026, about the structure. It names 1 model year (2025). A service bulletin is not a safety recall: it is the manufacturer telling its dealers how to diagnose or repair a condition, and whether the work is paid for depends on the warranty in force. Quoting the number at a service desk can save a diagnosis.

What the bulletin says

Source: NHTSA's summary of the manufacturer's communication

On certain Model Y vehicles, a gap between the liftgate and the spoiler outer panel may produce a whistling sound if the vehicle is driven at high speed. Upon customer complaint of noise coming from the liftgate area, rework the spoiler outer panel.

The summary is NHTSA’s abstract of the document, as filed under 49 CFR 579.5; the full text comes from the manufacturer or a dealer. One communication is usually filed as several documents — the bulletin, a dealer notice, an owner letter — and the number on any of them finds this page. Quote it at a service desk; it is what the dealer’s system is keyed on.

Common questions

Source: NHTSA, 49 CFR 579.5

Is Tesla SB-25-11-007 a recall?

No. A service bulletin is a manufacturer communication filed with NHTSA under 49 CFR 579.5; a safety recall carries an NHTSA campaign number (two digits, a letter, six digits) and a federal duty to repair for free. Check the vehicle’s recalls by VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls, or on its page here.

Is the SB-25-11-007 repair free?

Not automatically. A service bulletin describes how to diagnose or repair a condition; who pays depends on the warranty in force, any extension, and the dealer. Quoting the number can save a diagnosis either way.

Which vehicles does SB-25-11-007 cover?

The manufacturer filed it against 1 model year: 2025 Tesla Model Y. Whether one particular vehicle is affected is a matter of its VIN and its build, not its model year alone.
