Tesla announced it is deploying a free software update to fix the issue. The letters to owners of impacted vehicles are expected to be mailed out by Feb. 15, 2025.

The Elon Musk-company has been plagued by recalls throughout 2024.

For instance, its Cybertruck is now on its seventh recall this year. Last month, a Cybertruck recall impacted around 2,400 vehicles.

Furthermore, this past summer, Tesla recalled around 1.8 million vehicles because of a hood problem, according to the NHTSA.

Additionally, in February of this year, the automaker recalled 2.2 million vehicles in the U.S. because some warning lights on the driver’s dashboard were too small.
