Elon Musk-owned Tesla has been facing several problems with its various models of electric vehicles over the past year. The company has been facing safety and technical issues with its various models of vehicles for a few days now. Now, a technical issue has been identified in the tire pressure warning light technology of three models of Tesla's vehicles, including the Cybertruck. Tesla has announced a recall of 700,000 electric vehicles to fix this software-related issue.

The models affected by the tire pressure warning light are the 2024 Cybertruck, 2017-2025 Model 3S, and 2020-2025 Model YS. Tesla said the recall will be completed with a software update as soon as possible.

Regarding the flaw in Tesla vehicles, the US regulatory body, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), has said that Tesla's tire pressure monitoring system may fail to send a warning to the driver even if the car's tires are low on air.

Last January, Tesla recalled 200,000 of its Model S, X, and Y models due to a camera issue. The company later fixed the issue with a software update. Not only that but recently, Tesla's Cybertruck also had an accelerator pedal issue. As a result, Tesla was forced to recall all of its Cybertrucks.
