According to a letter Thursday from the National Highway Traffic
Safety Administration, the recall includes certain 2024
Cybertruck, 2017-2025 Model 3, and 2020-2025 Model Y vehicles.
The issue is that the tire pressure monitoring system warning
light on the vehicles may not remain illuminated between drive
cycles, failing to warn the driver of low tire pressure. Driving
with improperly inflated tires can increase the risk of a crash.
The Elon Musk-led automaker said it's providing a free software
update to fix the problem.
Owner notification letters are expected to be mailed on Feb.15,
2025. Tesla customer service can be reached at 1-877-798-3752
for more information. Individuals may also call the National
Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at
1-888-327-4236 or visit their website at www.nhtsa.gov.
Tesla has been dealing with recalls throughout the year. Its
Cybertruck is now up to its seventh recall of the year, with one
last month that involved around 2,400 vehicles.
Musk’s Tesla delivered the first dozen or so of its futuristic
Cybertruck pickups to customers in November 2023, two years
behind the original schedule.
In July the automaker recalled more than 1.8 million vehicles
because of a hood issue that could increase the risk of a crash.
And in February Tesla recalled nearly 2.2 million vehicles in
the U.S. because some warning lights on the instrument panel are
too small.
