Tesla recalled 2.2 million electric vehicles in the U.S. on Thursday, citing an increased crash risk.
The National Highway Safety Administration (NHTSA) announced the recall, which it attributed to incorrect font sizes on the vehicles’ warning lights, NBC News reported.
“Warning lights with a smaller font size can make critical safety information on the instrument panel difficult to read, increasing the risk of a crash,” the NHTSA said.
Tesla released a free over-the-air software update correcting the issue on Jan. 23, the regulator said. The update enlarged the font size of visual warning indicators for brake, park and antilock brake system (ABS), according to the outlet.
