The Tesla Cybertruck has solely been out for a few months. But the steel-bodied truck has already acquired its first recall. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has issued a recall for almost 2.2 million Tesla autos constructed between 2012 and 2024, together with each Cybertruck, as a result of the automotive’s dashboard warning lights are too small.

“An incorrect font size is displayed on the instrument panel for the Brake, Park, and Antilock Brake System (ABS) warning lights,” the recall states. “As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 105, “Hydraulic and Electric Brake Systems” and 135, “Light Vehicle Brake Systems.””

The recall impacts a complete of two,193,869 Teslas, or roughly each Tesla ever offered within the United States. Here’s the complete record:

Because Teslas use screens as an alternative of analog gauge clusters, affected house owners will not should carry their vehicles to Tesla restore outlets to get their automobile mounted. Instead, Tesla is releasing an over-the-air (OTA) replace to resolve the undersized warning lights. The updates are already hitting affected vehicles, in line with the NHTSA.

This recall is unusual for a few causes. Cars from way back to 2012 are affected, which implies these warning lights have been incorrectly sized for over a decade. How did not Tesla understand this error for 12 years? And why did it take the NHTSA so lengthy to note? Why is there a authorized minimal font measurement for warning lights, anyway?

We suspect we’ll by no means get solutions to these first two questions. Nevertheless, house owners must be receiving notices within the mail subsequent month informing them of the replace. If you assume your Tesla could also be affected, head on over to the NHTSA’s site and punch in your VIN to verify.
