Tesla recalls almost all cars sold in America due to small warning lights on instrument panel, while an investigation into steering problems is underway for over 334,000 vehicles

Tesla is recalling almost all cars sold in America, totaling 2.2 million vehicles, including the Model S, Model Y, and Cybertruck, due to warning lights on the instrument panel being too small. Safety regulators found that the font size of the brake, park, and antilock brake warning lights did not meet federal safety standards, potentially making critical safety information difficult to read and increasing the risk of accidents. Additionally, an investigation into steering problems with over 334,000 Tesla vehicles is underway, with 115 complaints and more being received by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.
