Tesla reverse lights may fail to illuminate while the vehicle is in reverse, due to a defect in the wiring.
The short version
Tesla, Inc. reported a problem with the electrical system wiring. Here is what owners need to know.
The reverse lights may fail to illuminate while the vehicle is in reverse, due to a defect in the wiring. 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."
Reverse lights that fail to illuminate reduce visibility and may not alert pedestrians or other drivers that the vehicle is backing up, increasing the risk of a crash.
Tesla Service will replace the reverse lights and reverse facia harness, free of charge.
