Tesla is recalling 218,868 vehicles due to a rearview camera defect that may delay the image when the car is placed in reverse, reducing visibility and increasing crash risk, according to a May 5 notice from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.
The recall affects select 2017 and 2021–2023 Model 3, Model Y, Model S, and Model X vehicles running software version 2026.8.6. Tesla has issued a free over-the-air software update to fix the problem, with owner notification letters set to be mailed July 3.
