Check Car Recalls

Recall of Tesla displays for incorrect font size

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.

Recalled vehicles include:

  • 2012-2023 Model S
  • 2016-2024 Model X
  • 2017-2023 Model 3
  • 2019-2024 Model Y
  • 2024 Cybertruck
