NHTSA Rejects Tesla Exemption, Orders Recall of Nearly 20,000 Model 3 and Model Y for Excessive Low-Beam

The U. S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) rejected Tesla's exemption request and ordered the recall of nearly 20,000 Model 3 and Model Y vehicles from model years 2017 to 2023 due to low-beam headlight brightness exceeding standards. A Tesla self-inspection in 2024 found that some headlamps had a maximum intensity of 230.1 candela in the 10-degree to 90-degree elevation range, nearly double the 125-candela standard. NHTSA noted that Tesla tested 50 headlamps with a defect rate close to 100% and only covered one of eight required driving scenarios, deeming the appeal insufficient.
