<p>Tesla became aware of the issue in October after customers complained about the faulty tail lights not illuminating.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The recall by Tesla comes a day after it announced a recall of over 30,000 Model S and Model X vehicles after an issue that may have caused the front passenger airbag to deploy incorrectly.&nbsp;</p>

<p>After the recall announcement, Tesla's shares dipped by as much as three per cent to hit a near two-year low.&nbsp;</p>

<p>According to NHTSA data, the EV&nbsp;company has recalled more than 3.7 million vehicles in 19 US recall campaigns in 2022 alone.</p>

<p>However, the spate of recalls is not limited to the US for the&nbsp;Elon Musk-owned company. Over 1,000 Tesla cars were recalled in Australia last Wednesday over a steering&nbsp;fault issue.&nbsp;</p>
