## What is 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."


## What can happen

Parking lights that are too bright can reduce visibility of oncoming drivers, increasing the risk of a crash.


## The remedy

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.
