Tesla recalls nearly 700,000 vehicles in US over tire pressure monitoring system issue

(Reuters) -Tesla (TSLA) said on Friday it was recalling 694,304 vehicles in the United States over an issue with the tire pressure monitoring system.

The issue, which affects some Model 3, Model Y and Cybertruck vehicles, will be resolved with an over-the-air software update, the company said.

The tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS) warning light may not remain illuminated between drive cycles, failing to warn the driver of low tire pressure, a recall acknowledgement notice said.

The problem could result in drivers using the vehicle with improperly inflated tires, increasing the risk of a crash, the notice said.
