Tesla recalls 20,349 vehicles over overly bright headlights
NHTSA announced August 11 that Tesla is recalling 20,349 Model 3 and Model Y vehicles, mostly 2020-2023 Model Y (18,735) plus 2017-2023 Model 3 (1,614), after finding low-beam headlights exceeded the federal brightness limit by as much as 84% in one test zone, which can impair oncoming drivers. Tesla had asked NHTSA to treat the issue as inconsequential, but the agency rejected that request in July; no fix has yet been identified and recall notices are scheduled to go out September 15.
