Tesla is recalling nearly 700,000 vehicles due to problem with tire pressure monitoring system.

Tesla is initiating a recall of nearly 700,000 vehicles due to a malfunction in the warning light associated with the tire pressure monitoring system.

As stated in a letter from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration on Thursday, the recall affects specific models, including the 2024 Cybertruck, the 2017-2025 Model 3, and the 2020-2025 Model Y.

The concern lies in the tire pressure monitoring system’s warning light, which may not consistently illuminate between driving cycles, thereby failing to alert the driver to low tire pressure. Operating a vehicle with inadequately inflated tires heightens the risk of an accident.

Tesla, led by Elon Musk, has announced that it will offer a complimentary software update to rectify this issue.

Owner notification letters are scheduled to be dispatched on February 15, 2025. For further inquiries, Tesla customer service can be contacted at 1-877-798-3752. Additionally, individuals may reach out to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 or visit their website at www.nhtsa.gov.

Throughout the year, Tesla has been addressing various recalls. The Cybertruck has now experienced its seventh recall this year, with the most recent one affecting approximately 2,400 vehicles.

In November 2023, Tesla began delivering the first batch of its innovative Cybertruck pickups to customers, a full two years later than initially planned.

In July, the company issued a recall for over 1.8 million vehicles due to a hood malfunction that could elevate the risk of an accident. Earlier, in February, Tesla recalled nearly 2.2 million vehicles in the United States because certain warning lights on the instrument panel were deemed too small.
