Tesla Recalls Nearly 700,000 Vehicles Over Tire Pressure Monitoring Issue
Tesla is recalling close to 700,000 vehicles due to a problem with the tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS) warning light, which may fail to stay illuminated across drive cycles. This malfunction could prevent drivers from being alerted to low tire pressure, increasing the risk of a crash.
Vehicles Affected by the Recall
The recall includes the following models:
- 2024 Cybertruck
- 2017–2025 Model 3
- 2020–2025 Model Y
The issue stems from the TPMS warning light not remaining active as needed, potentially leaving drivers unaware of improperly inflated tires. Tesla will address the problem through a free software update to restore proper functionality.
Customer Notifications and Assistance
- Owner notification letters will be mailed on February 15, 2025.
- Tesla owners can contact the company’s customer service at 1-877-798-3752 for further details.
- For additional information, individuals can also call the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) at 1-888-327-4236 or visit www.nhtsa.gov.
Recurring Tesla Recalls
This recall marks another in a series of challenges for Tesla, which has faced multiple recalls throughout the year:
- Cybertruck Recall: This is the seventh recall for the futuristic Cybertruck in 2024. In November, Tesla delivered its first batch of Cybertrucks—two years behind schedule. Last month, a separate recall involved approximately 2,400 Cybertrucks.
- July 2024: Tesla recalled 1.8 million vehicles over a hood latch issue that increased the risk of crashes.
- February 2024: Nearly 2.2 million vehicles were recalled due to instrument panel warning lights being too small.
Tesla’s Commitment to Safety
Although Tesla has faced ongoing issues with recalls, the company is addressing these matters through software updates and owner communication. Customers are urged to ensure their vehicles are updated promptly to maintain safety on the road.
