ELECTRICAL SYSTEM: INSTRUMENT CLUSTER/PANEL

Manufacturer
Tesla, Inc.
What Happened
The instrument cluster in your vehicle displays important safety information, like the status of your brakes and ABS system. In some Tesla models from 2012 to 2024, the font size for certain warning lights is too small.
Risk if Unfixed
If the font is too small, you might have a harder time seeing if your brakes or ABS system is functioning properly. This could make it harder to stop your vehicle safely, increasing the risk of a crash.
Free Fix
Tesla will send an automatic software update to your vehicle, which will correct the font size and ensure you can see the critical safety information clearly. This update is free, and you won't need to take your vehicle to a dealership.

Original — What Happened
Tesla, Inc. (Tesla) is recalling certain 2012-2023 Model S, 2016-2024 Model X, 2017-2023 Model 3, 2019-2024 Model Y, and 2024 Cybertruck vehicles. An incorrect font size is displayed on the instrument panel for the Brake, Park, and Antilock Brake System (ABS) warning lights. 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."
Original — Risk if Unfixed
Warning lights with a smaller font size can make critical safety information on the instrument panel difficult to read, increasing the risk of a crash.
Original — Remedy
Tesla began releasing an over-the-air (OTA) software update, free of charge. Owners may contact Tesla customer service at 1-877-798-3752. Tesla's number for this recall is SB-24-00-003.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:ADAS:AUTONOMOUS/SELF DRIVING:SOFTWARE

Manufacturer
Tesla, Inc.
What Happened
The Autosteer system in your vehicle is a feature that helps with steering on the highway. In some cases, the controls for this system might not be clear enough, which could lead to drivers relying too heavily on it.
Risk if Unfixed
If you're not paying attention and relying too much on Autosteer, you could fail to take control of your vehicle when necessary. This could lead to a crash, especially on the highway.
Free Fix
Tesla will send an update to your vehicle's software for free. You can also contact them directly to confirm you'll receive the update.

Original — What Happened
Tesla, Inc. (Tesla) is recalling 2012-2023 Model S, 2016-2023 Model X, 2017-2023 Model 3, and 2020-2023 Model Y vehicles equipped with all versions of Autosteer leading up to the version(s) that contains the recall remedy. In certain circumstances when Autosteer is engaged, the prominence and scope of the feature's controls may not be sufficient to prevent driver misuse of the SAE Level 2 advanced driver-assistance feature.
Original — Risk if Unfixed
In certain circumstances when Autosteer is engaged, and the driver does not maintain responsibility for vehicle operation and is unprepared to intervene as necessary or fails to recognize when Autosteer is canceled or not engaged, there may be an increased risk of a crash.
Original — Remedy
