Tesla (TSLA, Financial) has announced a recall of 694,304 vehicles in the United States due to a problem with the tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS). This issue affects certain Model 3, Model Y, and Cybertruck vehicles. The TPMS warning light may not stay illuminated during the driving cycle, failing to alert drivers to low tire pressure, which could lead to improper tire inflation and increase the risk of crashes.
The company plans to address the issue through an over-the-air software update. This proactive measure is aimed at ensuring driver safety by maintaining proper tire pressure monitoring.
