Tesla is recalling nearly all of the electric vehicles it has sold in the U.S. over problems with warning lights, its biggest recall to date and the latest in a series of setbacks for the automaker.
“Warning lights with a smaller font size can make critical safety information on the instrument panel difficult to read, increasing the risk of a crash,” the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration said.
The recall affects as many as 2.19 million vehicles sold between 2012 and 2024. They will receive an over-the-air software fix, Tesla said. The company isn’t aware of any crashes related to the warning light issue, it said.
Tesla didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment. The company’s shares edged down 0.5% in premarket trading.
A fix is unlikely to be expensive to implement but the recall could still dent Tesla’s reputation as it comes off the back of a number of recent safety issues.
