Typical suspension symptoms owners report

  • Wheels crack or bend from normal driving, curbs, railroad tracks, or speed bumps, sometimes leading to flat tires.
  • Tires lose air or go flat shortly after purchase, in one case traced to a tire that would not hold pressure.
  • Owners describe a bouncy or harsh ride and vibration they attribute to the suspension or shocks, especially on bumpy roads or at highway speed.
  • Rear tires and wheels show premature wear or cracking tied to alignment issues, requiring replacement.
  • Tire tread chunking was reported by multiple owners on the same tire size.
  • One owner reported a rim's outer lip failing after hitting a pothole, causing the tire to burst.

    Tires:pressure monitoring and regulating systems

    Tesla, Inc. (Tesla) is recalling certain 2024 Cybertruck, 2017-2025 Model 3, and 2020-2025 Model Y vehicles. The tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS) warning light may not remain illuminated between drive cycles, failing to warn the driver of low tire pressure. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 138, "Tire Pressure Monitoring Systems."

    Risk: Driving with improperly inflated tires increases the risk of a crash.

    Remedy: Tesla released an over-the-air (OTA) software update, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed February 15, 2025. Owners may contact Tesla customer service at 1-877-798-3752. Tesla's number for this recall is SB-24-00-018.
