Mohammedia – Tesla is recalling more than 63,000 Cybertrucks in the United States after discovering that the front parking lights of the vehicles are too bright, which presents a risk to oncoming drivers, according to Reuters. Tesla has begun distributing a free software update to repair the problem.
The recall covers 63,619 Cybertrucks manufactured from November 13, 2023, to October 11, 2025. The fix is delivered “over the air” (OTA), meaning owners will not need to visit service centers.
The software update intends to reduce the front position lights’ brightness automatically to comply with U.S. safety standards.
Software fix for overbright lights
In its report to NHTSA, Tesla says the issue was found during brightness testing when some parking lights on Cybertrucks were emitting levels above allowable thresholds for on-road use, which could reduce visibility for other motorists and increase crash risk.
Tesla reports that it is not aware of any crashes, injuries, or fatalities involving the flaw. The company said it has started releasing a free OTA software update to correct the issue, with affected Cybertrucks set to receive the fix automatically.
The owners of the recalled Cybertrucks can check if their vehicles belong to the recall through the Tesla smartphone app or by visiting the recall site on Tesla’s website. The company also reminded the customers that all the recall repairs are free regardless of the age or warranty of the car.
This new recall joins a growing list of problems for the Cybertruck since it was introduced late in 2023. This past winter, Tesla recalled accelerator pedal covers, windshield wipers, trim panels, and software issues with warning displays. Most of those were also resolved with remote software updates.
Tesla’s use of OTA updates has allowed it to address many safety defects without physical repair, a step that may be faster and less costly than traditional recalls.
The manufacturer had previously emphasized that its vehicles are designed to be updated with system enhancements like smartphones for minimal disruption for drivers.
This week’s recall is on top of another small recall initiated on Wednesday for nearly 13,000 Tesla Model 3 and Model Y vehicles on another battery-pack issue that could result in a lack of propulsion.
According to data cited by BRC Legal, Tesla averaged about 15 recalls per year between 2021 and 2024, with additional recall data available for the first quarter of 2025.
