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.
