A recall does not mean your car is affected. Check the market, build date and VIN with the manufacturer.
- Engine / equipment
- Tyre pressure monitoring system (TPMS) software: Tesla Model 3 and Model Y
- Period mentioned
- 2019–2024 (only the VINs in the recall)
- Symptoms
- When the pressure monitoring system detects a fault, its warning light comes on, but it does not come back on the next drive if the car was switched off or “asleep” in between; you may drive without knowing that a tyre is under-inflated.
- Possible cause described
- According to the UK DVSA (R/2025/002, Tesla code SB-24-00-018), the TPMS fault warning does not persist between drives if the car is off or asleep in between, so the driver may not be warned of an under-inflated tyre, increasing the risk of a crash.
- Check for the garage
- The fix is an over-the-air (OTA) software update. In the meantime, check the tyre pressures with a gauge, with the tyres cold.
- Cost cited in the source
- No verified estimate; check whether the free recall remedy remains outstanding for the VIN.A rough figure from the original database, not an up-to-date quote.
