Tesla has issued a recall for nearly 700,000 vehicles, including certain 2024 Cybertruck, 2017-2025 Model 3, and 2020-2025 Model Y vehicles, due to a tire pressure monitoring system issue. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration stated that the warning light for low tire pressure may not remain illuminated between drive cycles, increasing the risk of a crash. Tesla plans to remedy the issue with a free over-the-air software update, with owner notification letters expected to be mailed on Feb. 15, 2025.
This recall is not the first for Tesla, as the Cybertruck alone has faced seven recalls this year. In a recent recall, around 2,400 vehicles were affected by a fault in the drive inverter that could cause a loss of drive power to the wheels, with Tesla offering free replacements. In July, Tesla issued a recall for over 1.8 million vehicles because of reports that hoods were unintentionally popping open. Despite the recalls, Tesla continues to address safety concerns and provide solutions for affected vehicles.
