The instrument cluster in your car is the display screen that shows important information like your speed and warning lights. In some 2012-2024 Teslas, the font size for the brake and ABS warning lights is too small.
Risk if Unfixed
If the font is too small, you might have trouble reading the warning lights, which could increase the risk of a crash.
Free Fix
Tesla will send a free software update to your car's computer, which will correct the font size issue. You won't need to visit a dealership – the update will be sent automatically, but you can also contact Tesla customer service at 1-877-798-3752 for more information.
