Tesla has recalled nearly 700,000 cars after a potentially dangerous fault was discovered. Elon Musk’s electric vehicle company has found an issue with a portion of its cars, which could see people driving in an automobile which ‘increases the risk of a crash’. According to the manufacturer, it is the Model 3, Model Y and Cybertruck which are affected by this issue, resulting in a recall letter set to be sent out to customers on February 15 2025. Advert Thankfully, the issue can be resolved via a free software update, however, until then the issue will persist. Apparently, there is an issue with the warning light on the tire pressure monitoring system.

Advert In response, the company is recalling 694,304 of its models according to a National Highway Traffic Safety Administration letter. The letter reads: "The tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS) warning light may not remain illuminated between drive cycles, failing to warn the driver of low tire pressure. "Driving with improperly inflated tires increases the risk of a crash." This isn’t the first time the manufacturer has had to recall cars. It took back 1.8 million vehicles in July of this year due to a bonnet issue which saw the software issue failing to detect an unlatched hood. Advert In May, it also recalled 125,000 vehicles because of seat belt issues, and in February, it called back over 2 million vehicles as warning signals showing in a smaller font size. As well as manufacturing issues, one family has blamed for the death of a 31-year-old on Musk after he crashed his Tesla while using the self-driving 'autopilot' technology. Genesis Giovanni Mendoza Martinez, was crushed to death on February 18, 2023, after using his Tesla's 'autopilot' drive. The Cybertruck is one of the models with the fault (Tesla) Advert A lawsuit was filed by Mendoza’s parents, Eduardo and Maria, and his brother Caleb, who were also in the car and injured during the crash. They stated that it’s Musk’s fault for allowing the 'ill-equipped' feature to be used by drivers. However, Tesla argued that the cars have 'a reasonably safe design as measured by the appropriate test under the applicable state law'. Another customer has also pointed out a major flaw in the Cybertruck design which could see headlights completely unable to illuminate the roads, making it a safety hazard. Advert TikTok user Joe Fay (@jf.okay) said: "So, I found a major flaw in the Cybertruck's design.” The Tesla customer explained how the headlights sit at the bottom of the vehicle, which could be a problem. He explained: "These headlights are amazing and they're extremely bright. However, that snow is building up right in front of the headlights. "That can be a major problem when you're driving in the winter time, because if snow builds up right here, the headlights are going to be completely blocked." Joe continued: "Now, I can't believe Tesla just didn't think about this when they put this giant shelf in front of the lights, but if they did, it's honestly an awful design. "I'll let you know how driving is in the blizzard. It's done pretty well so far, and I haven't noticed that the headlights are getting all clogged up like that."
