(Reuters) -Tesla said on Friday it was recalling 694,304 vehicles in the United States over an issue with the tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS).
The TPMS warning light may not remain illuminated between drive cycles, failing to warn the driver of low tire pressure, according to a recall acknowledgement notice.
The problem could result in drivers using the vehicle with improperly inflated tires, increasing the risk of a crash, the notice said.
The issue, affecting some Model 3, Model Y and Cybertruck vehicles, will be resolved with an over-the-air software update, Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA) said.
Its vehicles accounted for 21% of all U.S. recalls in the first three quarters of the year, according to recall management firm BizzyCar. However, most issues for the brand's cars were usually resolved with over-the-air software updates.
Tesla recalled 1,858,774 vehicles in the September quarter, the highest in the U.S., but issues in all them could be rectified through software updates.
The company recalled 2,400 Cybertruck units in the U.S. in November because a faulty part could lead to a loss of power and increase the risk of a crash, marking the sixth such move for its electric pickup truck this year.
