BACK OVER PREVENTION Safety Recalls

Standard NHTSA Filing #26V283000 Plain English
Component

BACK OVER PREVENTION:SOFTWARE

Manufacturer
Tesla, Inc.
What Happened
The rearview camera software in your vehicle helps you see what's behind your car when you're in reverse. In some 2017, 2021-2023 Model 3, 2020-2023 Model Y, 2021-2023 Model S, and Model X vehicles, the camera image might be delayed, making it harder to see what's behind you.
Risk if Unfixed
A delayed rearview image means you might not see a child, pet, or obstacle behind your vehicle when you're reversing, increasing the risk of a crash or injury.
Free Fix
Tesla will upgrade your vehicle's software with a free update. You should contact Tesla customer service at 1-877-798-3752 to confirm repair availability and schedule the update.
