Tesla has issued a recall for approximately 694,304 vehicles due to a malfunction in the tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS), which could increase the risk of accidents, according to a Dec. 19 notice letter to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA).

Tesla has already begun addressing the issue by rolling out an over-the-air (OTA) software update free of charge to affected vehicles, with the company noting that no further action is required for vehicles running software versions 2024.38.7 or later, as well as certain updated versions of its Full Self-Driving (FSD) software.
