Affected vehicles include hardware version 3, which Tesla will stop producing in January 2024.
According to NHTSA, the rearview camera display in the affected vehicles may be delayed if the vehicle is put into reverse, impairing the driver’s visibility.
“Loss of rearview camera image may affect the view behind the driver and increase the risk of a crash,” NHTSA said in its recall notice. “The driver may continue to reverse the vehicle by checking the shoulder and using the mirrors.”
