Your vehicle's rearview camera helps you see behind your car when you're in reverse. However, in 2017, 2021-2023 Model 3, 2020-2023 Model Y, 2021-2023 Model S, and Model X vehicles with software version 2026.8.6, the camera image might be delayed, which means you won't get a clear view of what's behind your car.
Risk if Unfixed
If you can't see what's behind your vehicle, you might not notice a person or object in the road, which could cause a crash.
Free Fix
Tesla will send an update to your vehicle's software for free. You don't need to visit a dealership – the update will be delivered directly to your car.

Original — What Happened
Tesla, Inc. (Tesla) is recalling certain 2017, 2021-2023 Model 3, 2020-2023 Model Y, 2021-2023 Model S, and Model X vehicles operating software version 2026.8.6. The rearview camera image may be delayed when the vehicle is placed in reverse. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 111, "Rear Visibility."
Original — Risk if Unfixed
A delayed rearview image reduces the driver's view behind the vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash.
Original — Remedy
Tesla has released an over-the-air (OTA) software update, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed July 3, 2026. Owners may contact Tesla customer service at 1-877-798-3752. Tesla's number for this recall is SB-26-00-001.
The infotainment system CPU in your vehicle is the brain that controls the center screen. In some 2021-2022 Model S, Model X, and 2022 Model 3 and Model Y models, it could overheat during fast-charging, causing the screen to freeze or restart.
Risk if Unfixed
If the CPU overheats, your center screen may stop showing the rearview camera image, gear selection, and warning lights. This could make it harder to see what's behind your vehicle and increase the risk of a crash.
Free Fix
Tesla will send a free software update to your vehicle to improve CPU temperature management. You should contact Tesla customer service at 1-877-798-3752 to confirm the update is available and schedule it, and it will be done at no cost to you.
