Tesla recalling almost 700,000 vehicles due to tire pressure monitoring structure issue

Tesla is recalling almost 700,000 vehicles because of an issue with the warning light on the tire pressure monitoring structure.

According to a note Thursday from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, the recall includes sure 2024 Cybertruck, 2017-2025 Model 3, and 2020-2025 Model Y vehicles.

The issue is that the tire pressure monitoring structure warning light on the vehicles may not remain illuminated between drive cycles, failing to alert the driver of low tire pressure. Driving with improperly inflated tires can boost the uncertainty of a crash.

The Elon Musk-led automaker said it’s providing a free software update to fix the issue.

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.
