Tesla is recalling 694,304 vehicles due to a defect in the tire pressure monitoring system that may fail to warn drivers of low tire pressure. The recall impacts three of Tesla’s prominent models, including the Model 3, Model Y, and the newly released Cybertruck.
History Behind the Recall
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) identified the defect in Tesla’s tire pressure monitoring system, which may not remain illuminated between driving cycles. This issue compromises the system’s ability to alert drivers to low tire pressure, increasing the risk of crashes due to improperly inflated tires.
The issue is particularly concerning as maintaining proper tire pressure is crucial for vehicle safety, especially in winter conditions where tire pressure can drop with falling temperatures.
Which Models Are Affected?
The recall involves the following Tesla models:
- 2017–2025 Tesla Model 3
- 2020–2025 Tesla Model Y
- 2024 Tesla Cybertruck
Tesla has experienced multiple recalls in 2024, with this latest issue adding to the growing list of safety concerns for its vehicles.
What Owners Need to Do Next
Tesla plans to address the issue with an over-the-air (OTA) software update to correct the tire pressure monitoring system defect. Owners will receive the update at no cost.
Notification letters are scheduled to be mailed by February 15, 2025, providing further details on the recall and the resolution process. In the meantime, Tesla owners can verify if their vehicle is part of the recall by contacting Tesla support or visiting the NHTSA recall website.
How Tesla Owners Can Take Back Control
While recalls have been communicated to owners, many continue to be unhappy with the solutions provided by automakers. These problems have the potential to escalate into further action, just like this—underlining the importance of protecting consumer rights.
