The Tesla Cybertruck has received its first "recall" as one of five vehicles in the company's EV lineup to have a font size issue on visual warning indications.
Tesla Cybertruck Receives First 'Recall' Via OTA Fix
2,193,869 Tesla cars, including the Cybertruck, Model S, Model 3, Model Y, and Model X, have a font size of less than 3.2 millimeters, which violates FMVSS 105 and 135, as per Teslarati.
“On affected vehicles, the letter font size of the Brake, Park, and Antilock brake system (ABS) visual warning indicators is smaller than 3.2 mm (1/8 inch), as prescribed in FMVSS Nos. 105 and 135,” the NHTSA said in its 573 Safety Recall Report. The NHTSA warns that the small text size "could reduce the driver's detection of it when illuminated, increasing the risk of a collision."
Tesla's Innovative Over-the-Air Updates Enhance Vehicle Indicators
Software Update 2023.44.30.9 will address the issue in Model S, Model 3, Model X, and Model Y vehicles. On Cybertruck, Software Update 2023.44.9.1 will resolve the problem.
Surprisingly, the NHTSA is still obligated to refer to these concerns, which are resolved without physical intervention, as a recall, causing mainstream media to perpetuate the myth that Tesla's vehicles are defective. However, this is resolved in the same way that your smartphone receives updates and enhancements while you sleep.
“At no cost to customers, affected vehicles will receive an over-the-air software remedy, which began deploying to certain affected vehicles in late January 2024 with software release 2023.44.30.13. The remedy increases the letter font size of the Brake, Park, and Antilock brake system (ABS) visual warning indicators to be not less than 3.2 mm (1/8 inch), as prescribed in FMVSS Nos. 105 and 135. Remaining affected vehicles will receive the same over-the-air software remedy with an upcoming release in early February 2024,” the NHTSA’s Recall Safety Report stated.
