Nearly 700,000 Models Affected by 2024 Tesla TPMS Recall
694,304 which equates to 100% of all Tesla vehicles are affected by the 2024 Tesla TPMS Recall, including the 2024 Cybertruck, 2017-2025 Model 3, and 2020-2025 Model Y.
The issue involves a defect in the TPMS warning light, which may fail to remain on between drive cycles, leaving drivers unaware of potentially dangerous low tire pressure.
This issue could increase the likelihood of tire-related accidents, prompting Tesla to address the problem with an over-the-air (OTA) software update.
The update, which is being rolled out to affected vehicles, ensures that the TPMS warning light functions properly and complies with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards (FMVSS).

What Caused the Tesla TPMS Recall?
The 2024 Tesla TPMS recall was triggered by a software issue impacting the tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS).
Specifically, the TPMS warning light may fail to stay illuminated between drive cycles, which could prevent drivers from being alerted to low tire pressure.
This issue violates the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards (FMVSS) and could increase the risk of driving with under-inflated tires, potentially leading to accidents.
To resolve the problem, Tesla has issued an over-the-air (OTA) software update (version 2024.38.7 or later) to ensure the TPMS warning light functions correctly.
Owners of affected vehicles can check if their car is part of the recall by using the Tesla VIN Recall Search or the NHTSA VIN Recall Search tools.
Which Vehicles Are Included in the Tesla TPMS Recall?
The 2024 Tesla TPMS recall impacts the following models:
- 2017-2025 Model 3
- 2020-2025 Model Y
- 2024 Cybertruck
This recall stems from a software issue affecting the tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS).
As a result, the TPMS warning light may not remain illuminated between drive cycles, potentially failing to alert drivers to low tire pressure.
How Will Tesla Resolve the TPMS Problem?
Tesla is attempting to resolve the TPMS issue with an over-the-air (OTA) software update. This update, version 2024.38.7 or later, ensures that the TPMS warning light remains illuminated between drive cycles, in compliance with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards (FMVSS).
Owners do not need to visit a service center, as the update is delivered remotely via OTA, allowing it to be downloaded and installed without any in-person intervention.
To verify if their vehicle has received the update, owners can check the software version on their vehicle’s touchscreen or through the Tesla app.
If the software update fails to download or install, Tesla recommends consulting their support resources or scheduling a service appointment if the issue persists.
Steps for Owners with Repeat TPMS Problems
If you’re encountering recurring TPMS issues with your Tesla, here are some steps you can take to resolve the problem:
Start by checking for software updates. Make sure your vehicle has the latest software installed, as Tesla frequently releases over-the-air (OTA) updates that address issues like TPMS malfunctions.
Next, consider relearning the TPMS sensors. This process can be done in a few ways:
- Auto Relearn: Drive your vehicle for a period of time at varying speeds. The new sensor IDs should automatically be programmed to the control module.
- Manual Relearn: Follow the vehicle’s instructions to enter “learn mode,” then use a TPMS activation tool to engage each sensor.
- OBD-II Relearn: Use a TPMS scan tool to scan the sensors and upload their IDs to the vehicle’s control module via the OBD port.
Do not forget to check tire pressure. Ensure all tires are inflated to the recommended levels, as incorrect tire pressure can trigger the TPMS warning light. If the issue persists, inspect the TPMS sensors for damage or wear. Defective sensors may need to be replaced.
Finally, if the problem continues after these steps, contact Tesla support or schedule a service appointment for further diagnostics and assistance.
By following these steps, you can help ensure your TPMS functions properly, maintaining the safety and performance of your vehicle.
If your Tesla is affected by the TPMS recall, you may be entitled to compensation for any related issues, including damages and repair costs.
Depending on the specifics of your situation, filing an individual Lemon Law claim may be a more effective option.
