NHTSA officially denied a petition Tesla filed in 2024 seeking to avoid a physical recall, forcing Tesla to proceed with a hardware-level fix covering approximately 19,900 Model 3 and Model Y vehicles from the 2017-2023 model years.
The affected vehicles' low beam headlights may output light levels exceeding federal regulatory limits, which triggered the recall dispute in the first place.
In its original petition, Tesla argued the compliance variance was inconsequential to safety and didn't warrant notifying consumers or mandating a repair, also noting it was unaware of any consumer complaints, accidents, or injuries linked to the issue.
