Thursday, November 13, 2025 · Life · GSM News

The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) announced on November 13, 2025 that Tesla is recalling about 10,500 Powerwall 2 AC battery power systems, recall number 26-092. The affected units were sold through Tesla.com and certified installers from November 2020 through December 2022 for about $8,000.

According to CPSC, lithium-ion cells in certain Powerwall 2 systems can stop the unit during normal use, leading to overheating and, in some cases, smoke or flame — fire and burn hazards. Tesla had received 22 reports of overheating, including six involving smoking and five involving fire, causing minor property damage. No injuries were reported.

The remedy is replacement. Tesla has remotely discharged affected units that are online until replacement, and owners are asked to keep the system online and check the Tesla app for a recall notification. Consumers can contact Tesla Support at [email protected] or toll-free at 877-961-7652, Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. PT. Powerwall 3 is not affected.
