2024–2026 Tesla Cybertruck: Electrical System recall
NHTSA campaign 25V699000 · 64K units potentially affected · filed Oct 14, 2025
What's wrong
Tesla, Inc. (Tesla) is recalling certain 2024-2026 Cybertruck vehicles operating software prior to 2025.38.3. The vehicle controller software may cause the front parking lights to be too bright and exceed the maximum light output, adversely affecting the vision of other drivers. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 108, "Lamps, Reflective Devices, and Associated Equipment."
Why it matters
Parking lights that are too bright can reduce visibility of oncoming drivers, increasing the risk of a crash.
The fix
Tesla released an over-the-air (OTA) software update, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed December 12, 2025. Owners may contact Tesla customer service at 1-877-798-3752. Tesla's number for this recall is SB-25-00-008.
