Check Car Recalls: The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration issued numerous recalls last week, including Tesla’s recall of about 2.2 million vehicles due to a potential hazard associated with the small font size of the safety warning signals.
Do you want to know if your car has been recalled? If your vehicle is not listed below, you can check USA TODAY’s automotive recall database or NHTSA’s database to see if it has been recalled. The NHTSA website allows you to search for recalls based on your vehicle identification number.
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration issued the following list of vehicle recalls from Jan. 28 to Feb. 3.
Tesla recalled nearly 2.2 million Model S, Model X, Model 3, Model Y, and Cybertruck vehicles because the instrument panel displayed incorrect font sizes for the Brake, Park, and Antilock Brake System (ABS). According to a report by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, warning lights with smaller font sizes can make safety information on the screen more difficult to read, increasing the risk of a crash.
Moreover, the NHTSA states that these vehicles do not meet the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard numbers 105, “Hydraulic and Electric Brake Systems,” and 135, “Light Vehicle Brake Systems.”
An over-the-air (OTA) software update that is free to all Tesla owners has informed them of the problem. Tesla will send out notification letters on March 30. Owners are encouraged to contact Tesla’s customer service at 1-877-798-3752. This recall has the number SB-24-00-003.
According to a company press release, Toyota has issued a “do not drive” advisory for approximately 50,000 older vehicles. The company recommends that drivers stop driving their cars immediately and have their Takata airbags repaired.
We advise owners to contact their local dealer instead of driving the vehicle there. For the safety of its affected drivers, Toyota is offering a variety of alternative solutions free of charge, including mobile repairs, towing to the dealership, vehicle pickup and delivery, and various transportation options. In the event of an airbag malfunction, Toyota will repair or replace the airbag free of charge.
If you have any further questions, please contact the Toyota Brand Engagement Center at 1-800-331-4331.
