Why This Matters
Driving a vehicle with improperly inflated tires significantly increases the risk of a crash. Correct tire pressure is crucial for vehicle handling, braking performance, and preventing tire blowouts. When the tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS) warning light fails to operate correctly, drivers may not be aware of a potentially dangerous low tire pressure condition.
What's Being Recalled
Tesla, Inc. is recalling certain 2021-2025 Model 3, 2021-2025 Model Y, and 2024 Cybertruck vehicles. The core issue is with the tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS) warning light, which may not remain illuminated between drive cycles. This prevents the system from properly alerting the driver to low tire pressure, violating Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 138, "Tire Pressure Monitoring Systems."
This recall addresses a critical safety function, ensuring that the Tesla Model Y TPMS warning light and those in other affected models provide consistent and reliable alerts to drivers.
