The NHTSA said the warning lights’ font size is too small and can make it difficult to read critical safety information.

The recall affects the following vehicles:

  • 2012-2023 Model S
  • 2016-2024 Model X
  • 2017-2023 Model 3
  • 2019-2024 Model Y
  • 2024 Cybertruck

The wrong font size can appear on the instrument panel under brake, park and antilock brake system lights.

The font size will be increased through an over-the-air software update for free. Owners will receive letters concerning the recall after March 30, the NHTSA said.

For more information, you can call Tesla directly at 877-798-3752. The company’s internal number for this recall is SB-24-00-003.
