Component

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM: INSTRUMENT CLUSTER/PANEL

Manufacturer
Tesla, Inc.
What Happened
The instrument cluster in your Tesla shows important safety information like brake and ABS warnings. In some 2012-2024 models, these warnings are displayed in a too-small font size.
Risk if Unfixed
If you can't read the warning lights clearly, you might not notice when your brakes are malfunctioning or your ABS is off. This could lead to a crash.
Free Fix
Tesla will send an automatic software update to your vehicle's computer, which will fix the display issue. This update is free, and you'll receive it soon – just keep an eye out for a notification from Tesla.

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. However, in certain situations, the controls might not be clear enough, which could lead to misuse.
Risk if Unfixed
If you're relying on Autosteer and don't keep an eye on the road, you could lose control of your vehicle and crash, especially if you're not ready to take over driving responsibilities.
Free Fix
Tesla will send a software update to your vehicle through the internet, and it's completely free. You should schedule a visit to Tesla's service center to have the update installed as soon as you get the recall notice.
