Elon Musk<\/a>\u2019s electric vehicle company has found an issue with a portion of its cars, which could see people driving in an automobile which \u2018increases the risk of a crash\u2019.<\/p>\n According to the manufacturer, it is the Model 3, Model Y and\u00a0Cybertruck<\/a>\u00a0which are affected by this issue, resulting in a recall letter set to be sent out to customers on February 15 2025.<\/p>\n Thankfully, the issue can be resolved via a free\u00a0software<\/a>\u00a0update, however, until then the issue will persist.<\/p>\n Apparently, there is an issue with the warning light on the tire pressure monitoring system.<\/p>\n Elon Musk’s company needs to recall 700,000 vehicles (Samuel Corum\/Getty Images)<\/cite><\/div>\n While there is a problem with the system, it has not yet resulted in any injuries, crashes or deaths of drivers or passengers.<\/p>\n In response, the company is recalling 694,304 of its models according to a National Highway Traffic Safety Administration letter.<\/p>\n The letter reads: “The tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS) warning light may not remain illuminated between drive cycles, failing to warn the driver of low tire pressure.<\/p>\n “Driving with improperly inflated tires increases the risk of a crash.”<\/p>\n This isn\u2019t the first time the manufacturer has had to recall cars. It took back 1.8 million vehicles in July of this year due to a bonnet issue which saw the software issue failing to detect an unlatched hood.<\/p>\n In May, it also recalled 125,000 vehicles because of seat belt issues, and in February, it called back over 2 million vehicles as warning signals showing in a smaller font size.<\/p>\n As well as manufacturing issues,\u00a0one family has blamed for the death of a 31-year-old<\/a>\u00a0on Musk after he crashed his\u00a0Tesla<\/a>\u00a0while using the self-driving ‘autopilot’ technology.<\/p>\n Genesis Giovanni Mendoza Martinez, was crushed to death on February 18, 2023, after using his Tesla’s ‘autopilot’ drive.<\/p>\n The Cybertruck is one of the models with the fault (Tesla)<\/cite><\/div>\n A lawsuit was filed by Mendoza\u2019s parents, Eduardo and Maria, and his brother Caleb, who were also in the car and\u00a0injured<\/a>\u00a0during the crash.<\/p>\n They stated that it\u2019s Musk\u2019s fault for allowing the ‘ill-equipped’ feature to be used by drivers.<\/p>\n However, Tesla argued that the cars have ‘a reasonably safe design as measured by the appropriate test under the applicable state law’.<\/p>\n![\"Elon](\"https:\/\/images.ladbible.com\/resize?type=webp&quality=70&width=3840&fit=contain&gravity=auto&url=https:\/\/images.ladbiblegroup.com\/v3\/assets\/blt949ea8e16e463049\/blt0d0097576e13adf5\/6767f5cb8ab34a6da7224421\/GettyImages-2180566045.jpg\")
