What's wrong: Tesla, Inc. (Tesla) is recalling certain 2023 Model 3 and 2020-2023 Model Y vehicles. One or both taillights may intermittently fail to illuminate.

Why it matters: A taillight that fails to illuminate may reduce the visibility of the vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash.

The fix: Tesla has released an over-the-air (ota) software update, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed January 14, 2023.
