In an unfortunate development involving Tesla electric vehicles (EVs), more than Tesla Cybertruck units are being recalled because of a software problem, making the front parking lights too bright.
The overly bright headlights in faulty Cybertrucks are said to be extremely harsh, expected to blind oncoming drivers.
The US National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) announced that Tesla has issued an over-the-air software update to fix this issue at no cost to owners.
The US-based EV maker recalled 12,963 Model 3 and Model Y vehicles due to a defect in a battery pack component. This issue is reportedly affecting certain 2025 Model 3 and 2026 Model Y models, causing a loss of acceleration, which raises the risk of accidents.
For a quick and feasible resolution, Tesla is replacing the faulty battery pack contactor free of charge.
By October 7, Tesla reported 36 warranty claims and 26 field reports related to this battery issue, but confirmed there have been no known collisions or injuries linked to it.
The NHTSA has opened a probe into 2.88 million Tesla Cybertrucks equipped with the Full Self-Driving system after receiving over 50 reports of traffic violations and crashes.
This investigation comes amid increasing scrutiny from Congress regarding Tesla's advanced driver assistance features.
