Tesla has issued a recall for nearly 700,000 vehicles due to an issue with the tire pressure monitoring system warning light. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration released a letter on Thursday detailing the recall, which affects specific models including the 2024 Cybertruck, 2017-2025 Model 3, and 2020-2025 Model Y vehicles. The problem stems from the fact that the warning light on the tire pressure monitoring system may not remain illuminated between drive cycles, potentially failing to alert the driver of low tire pressure. Driving with improperly inflated tires can significantly heighten the risk of a potential crash.
The automaker, under the leadership of Elon Musk, has taken the necessary steps to rectify the issue by offering a free software update to address the problem. Notifications will be sent out to affected owners starting on February 15, 2025. For further information, individuals can contact Tesla’s customer service at 1-877-798-3752. Additionally, they may reach out to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 or visit the official website at www.nhtsa.gov.
Tesla has been grappling with multiple recalls throughout the year, with the Cybertruck now facing its seventh recall in 2025. Just last month, around 2,400 vehicles were part of a recall related to a different issue. Despite these challenges, Tesla remains committed to addressing any safety concerns promptly and efficiently.
The Cybertruck, a symbol of Tesla’s innovative approach to vehicle design, faced delays in its production timeline. The first deliveries to customers took place in November 2023, marking a two-year delay from the initial schedule. Despite the setbacks, the Cybertruck continues to garner interest and enthusiasm from consumers eager to experience its futuristic features and capabilities.
In July, Tesla recalled over 1.8 million vehicles due to a hood issue that posed a potential safety risk on the road. Subsequently, in February, the automaker recalled nearly 2.2 million vehicles in the U.S. after identifying a concern with warning lights on the instrument panel being too small. These proactive measures underscore Tesla’s commitment to ensuring the safety and satisfaction of its customers.
As Tesla navigates these challenges and addresses various safety issues, the company remains dedicated to upholding the highest standards of quality and performance in its vehicles. By promptly addressing recalls and implementing necessary updates, Tesla continues to prioritize the safety and well-being of its customers on the road.
