Tesla is recalling 63,619 of its Cybertruck vehicles. The reason is a software problem that makes the front parking lights too bright. According to U.S. safety regulators, this could temporarily blind oncoming drivers.
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) announced the recall. Tesla has already released a free, over-the-air software update to fix the issue. Owners do not need to visit a service centre.
This is the second recall for Tesla this week. On Wednesday, the company recalled 12,963 Model 3 and Model Y vehicles. The issue involves a defective part in the battery pack. This flaw could cause a sudden loss of acceleration, increasing the risk of a crash. Tesla will replace the faulty part for free.

These recalls occur during a period of increased scrutiny for Tesla. Earlier this month, the NHTSA opened a new investigation. The probe covers 2.88 million Tesla vehicles equipped with the Full Self-Driving (FSD) system. This follows more than 50 reports of traffic violations and crashes.
This investigation adds to existing pressure from Congress regarding the safety of Tesla’s driver-assistance technology. The company is scheduled to report its third-quarter financial results after the market closes on Wednesday.
