The recall is over issues of the cant rail - a stainless-steel exterior trim panel - delaminating and detaching from the vehicle, it said on Thursday.
As a remedy, Tesla's service will replace the rail assembly free of charge.
A detached panel can become a road hazard, increasing the risk of a crash, according to the U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration's (NHTSA) notice on the recalls.
Tesla - led by billionaire Elon Musk who is also leading efforts to shrink the government as senior adviser for President Donald Trump - accounts for a large portion of recalled vehicles in the U.S.
In 2024, Tesla vehicles accounted for 21% of all U.S. recalls in the first three quarters of the year, according to recall management firm BizzyCar. However, most issues for the brand's cars were usually resolved with over-the-air software updates.
Shares of the EV-maker remained largely unchanged in premarket trading.
