Tesla vehicle controller software may cause the front parking lights to be too bright and exceed the maximum light output, adversely affecting the vision of other drivers.
The short version
Tesla, Inc. reported a problem with the exterior lighting. Here is what owners need to know.
The vehicle controller software may cause the front parking lights to be too bright and exceed the maximum light output, adversely affecting the vision of other drivers. 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."
Parking lights that are too bright can reduce visibility of oncoming drivers, increasing the risk of a crash.
Tesla released an over-the-air (OTA) software update, free of charge.
