If you've ever been dazzled by the headlights of some Tesla vehicles and wondered why they're so bright, here's the reason: The EV giant is recalling over 20,000 vehicles with low-beam headlights exceeding the maximum legal limit – in some cases, the lights were twice as bright as allowed. It's an issue that Tesla has been aware of since spring 2024, but it's only doing something about it now. The affected vehicles consists of 1,614 Model 3 sedans built between July 24, 2017, and December 2, 2023, and 18,735 Model Y crossovers manufactured between February 11, 2020, and December 24, 2023. Unlike many Tesla recalls, it's unlikely that this one could be addressed through a quick over-the-air software update. Model Y production adopted replacement units in December 2022 at Fremont and August 2023 at Austin.
