Amid quality control challenges, nearly 700,000 vehicles are being recalled due to a fault in the tire pressure warning system.
A new development has emerged concerning vehicle safety, as nearly 700,000 vehicles are being recalled because of a malfunction in the tire pressure monitoring system’s warning light. This action affects specific 2024 models, including certain editions produced from 2017 to 2025. The flaw lies in the inability of the warning light to remain illuminated between driving cycles, which prevents drivers from being notified about low tire pressure. Consequently, there is an increased risk of accidents due to incorrect tire pressure maintenance.
The recall impacts models from the years 2017 to 2025, and particularly the latest designs. Vehicle owners have been notified about this issue and are urged to get their systems updated. The manufacturer responsible is offering a free software update to rectify this problem. Notification letters are set to be mailed to owners by February 15, 2025.
This recall is not an isolated incident, as the manufacturer has experienced several recalls within the year. The affected cybertruck model alone has undergone seven recalls, including one in the previous month targeting approximately 2,400 vehicles. Earlier in July, a recall of over 1.8 million vehicles was issued due to a hood defect, and in February, nearly 2.2 million vehicles were recalled because of inadequately sized warning lights on the dashboard.
