Summary

Tesla is recalling approximately 2,193,869 vehicles, including 2012-2023 Model S, 2016-2024 Model X, 2017-2023 Model 3, 2019-2024 Model Y, and 2024 Cybertruck models. The Brake, Park, and Antilock Brake System (ABS) warning lights on the instrument panel use a font size that is too small, failing to meet federal safety standards. Tesla is providing a free over-the-air (OTA) software update to correct the display font.

Risk

Warning lights with a font size that is too small can make critical safety information difficult for the driver to read. This can lead to the driver missing important alerts about braking system failures, significantly increasing the risk of a crash.

What You Should Do

  1. Check your vehicle's instrument panel or touchscreen for a notification regarding a new over-the-air (OTA) software update. This update (Tesla recall number SB-24-00-003) is being released free of charge to fix the warning light font size.
  2. If your vehicle has not yet received the update, you can manually check for available software updates through the 'Software' tab on your vehicle's touchscreen.
  3. If you have questions about the software update, contact Tesla customer service at 1-877-798-3752 and reference recall number SB-24-00-003.
  4. For additional information or to check your VIN, contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153) or visit www.nhtsa.gov.
