What's wrong?
The tire pressure monitoring system on 2017-2025 Tesla Model 3, Model Y, and Cybertruck vehicles watches tire pressure and uses a dashboard warning light to tell the driver when pressure is low. That warning light is supposed to stay visible across drive cycles until the condition is resolved, so the driver does not lose the reminder after parking or waking the vehicle.
On affected vehicles, certain Tesla software releases reset the TPMS warning telltale when the vehicle turns on or wakes from sleep between drive cycles. The tire sensors are not the problem described in this recall. The issue is the software behavior that clears the visible warning too soon, leaving the driver without the required low-pressure warning.
The warning sign is the TPMS light disappearing after the vehicle has been off or asleep, even though the tire-pressure problem has not been corrected. If you saw the light before parking and it is gone at the next drive without adding air or repairing a tire, treat that as the clue.

What's the safety risk?
Improperly inflated tires increase the risk of a crash. Because the TPMS malfunction warning does not stay on between drive cycles, check tire pressure if the alert appears or if the tires look low, and install the free software update. Repair is free at any franchised Tesla dealer.
