Tesla's 15th Recall of 2024 Affects 700,000 Vehicles

Tesla is recalling nearly 700,000 vehicles, including the 2024 Cybertruck, 2017-2025 Model 3, and 2020-2025 Model Y, due to a malfunction in the tire pressure monitoring system. The issue involves the warning light, which may not stay illuminated between drive cycles, potentially increasing crash risk by failing to alert drivers of low tire pressure. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) has highlighted this as a safety concern, although no related accidents or injuries have been reported. Tesla is addressing the problem with a free over-the-air software update, ensuring owners do not need to visit service centers. This recall adds to a series of recalls Tesla has faced this year, bringing the total to 15, covering over 2.7 million vehicles in 2024. Notification letters for affected owners are expected to be sent out by mid-February 2025.
