What Happened
The rearview camera in your vehicle is designed to show you what's behind your car when you're reversing. However, in certain 2017-2020 Model 3, 2018-2019 Model S, and 2018-2019 Model X vehicles, the image may not appear right away.
Risk if Unfixed
If the rearview image is delayed, you might not see what's behind your car, increasing the risk of a crash while reversing.
Free Fix
Tesla will update the software in your vehicle with a free, over-the-air update. You should schedule this update as soon as you receive the recall notice to ensure you have the latest safety features.
