Back in March, Tesla recalled more than 46,000 examples of its Cybertruck for detaching trim that could become a road hazard. Now, the automaker is recalling the vehicle over another issue that could disrupt other drivers: lights that are too bright. More than 63,600 Cybertrucks are involved.

Affected vehicles include model-year 2024-26 Cybertrucks. The vehicle controller software in affected trucks may cause the front parking lights to be too bright, affecting other drivers’ visibility and increasing the risk of a crash.
The automaker has already released a free over-the-air software update to resolve the issue. Tesla will begin notifying owners Dec. 13, but those with further questions in the meantime can call Tesla at 877-798-3752 (Tesla’s number for this recall is SB-25-00-008), the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration’s vehicle-safety hotline at 888-327-4236, or visit its website to check your vehicle identification number and learn more.

With the upcoming Rivian R2, the luxury electric brand seems to be making a play for greater mainstream acceptance.

And the planned Launch Edition expected to hit dealerships early next year won’t be the fully loaded variant such editions typically are, but instead a mid-level version more in line with what shoppers will likely end up choosing. We’ve got all the details on the R2 in Cars.com’s most popular news article of the past week.
