Tesla Recalls Nearly 2.2 Million Cars For Software Update

Tesla is recalling nearly all of the vehicles it has sold in the US due to some warning lights on the instrument panel being too small, as reported by the Associated Press (AP).

This issue can make critical safety information difficult to read, thereby increasing the risk of a crash.

Documents released by US safety regulators on Friday indicate that the recall will be conducted through an online software update. It encompasses the 2012 through 2023 Model S, the 2016 through 2023 Model X, the 2017 through 2023 Model 3, the 2019 through 2024 Model Y, and the 2024 Cybertruck.

According to the agency, the brake, park, and antilock brake warning lights have a font size smaller than required by federal safety standards.

This issue can make critical safety information difficult to read, thereby increasing the risk of a crash.

Tesla has already initiated the release of the software update, with owners set to receive notifications by letter starting March 30. The National Highway Transportation Safety Administration (NHTSA) identified the problem during a routine safety compliance audit on January 8.

While Tesla has identified three warranty claims potentially related to the issue, there have been no reports of crashes or injuries.
