What This Recall Means

BACK OVER PREVENTION:SOFTWARE

What Happened

The computer that controls your rearview camera could fail, preventing you from seeing what's behind your vehicle when you're in reverse. This affects certain 2024-2025 Model 3, Model S, 2023-2025 Model X, and Model Y vehicles.

Risk if Unfixed

If the camera image doesn't display, you'll have a reduced view of what's behind your car, which could increase the risk of a collision when you're reversing.

How to Get This Fixed

Free Fix

Tesla will send a free software update to fix the issue, and if necessary, they'll also replace a faulty computer at no cost to you. You should check your mailbox for the recall notice and contact Tesla customer service if you have any questions.
