Tesla Cybertruck owners are looking at recall No. 7. However, the brand says it has an easy solution.
The Tesla Cybertruck has dealt with an avalanche of polarizing controversy. Critics slam the angular EV pickup truck for its outlandish design. Proponents praise the Cybertruck for challenging the norm. Regardless of viewpoint, the Tesla Cybertruck is on its seventh recall since its debut.
A new Tesla Cybertruck recall includes nearly 700,000 Tesla EVs for TPMS issues that could fail to indicate insufficient tire pressure
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) reported that the Tesla Cybertruck is on its seventh recall since it first rolled off the line. This latest recall, NHTSA 24V935000, names 2024 Tesla Cybertruck models for a tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS) fault. According to the recall, Cybertrucks may have TPMS lights that fail to remain illuminated for every use.
Consequently, drivers may be unaware of a potentially dangerous drop in tire pressure, like that of a flat tire. While it doesn’t sound like much of a threat, a rapidly deflating tire can throw a vehicle off-course. Moreover, insufficient tire pressure can impact traction, increasing the risk of a potentially deadly crash.
The recall is No. 7 for the large, DeLorean-esque pickup truck. It follows a recall for 2,431 Cybertrucks and faulty inverters, which could induce power loss while driving. However, unlike the OTA fix for the recent TPMS recall, the inverter issue required a physical replacement.
However, the Cybertruck isn’t alone in the TPMS recall. The recall names Tesla Model 3 EVs from 2017 to 2025. It also highlights Model Y SUVs between 2020 and 2025. Altogether, the recall names 694,304 of the brand’s EVs.
So, what do you do if you think your Cybertruck could be impacted by this recall? For starters, you can use the NHTSA recall lookup tool. With the lookup tool, drivers can use their license plate number, VIN, or vehicle details to check their recall status. However, Tesla reportedly issued an over-the-air (OTA) software update that corrects the TPMS fault. What’s more, the NHTSA expects Tesla to send out notification letters by February 15, 2025.
