In the U.S., Tesla is recalling 239,000 vehicles due to issues with their rearview cameras.

• In the U.S., about 239,000 Tesla electric vehicles are being voluntarily recalled due to potential problems with rearview cameras, as stated in filings made public on Friday.
• Tesla stated in a letter to U.S. auto regulators that a rearview camera without an image reduces the driver's view of the rear, increasing the likelihood of a collision.
• In 2024, over 5 million Tesla cars in the U.S. were recalled, with 16 recalls being implemented, as tracked by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.

The company has announced a recall of approximately 239,000 electric vehicles in the U.S. due to an issue that may cause the rearview cameras to malfunction, as disclosed in filings posted on the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration's website on Friday.

Tesla stated in a letter to the regulator that a rearview camera that does not display an image reduces the driver's rear view, increasing the risk of a crash. The recall applies to Tesla's 2024-2025 Model 3 and Model S sedans, and to its 2023-2025 Model X and Model Y SUVs.

The company mentioned in the acknowledgement letter that it has already released an OTA software update that can resolve some of the camera problems in the vehicles.

In 2024, Tesla issued 16 recalls in the U.S. that affected 5.14 million of its EVs, according to NHTSA data. The recall remedies included a mix of over-the-air software updates and parts replacements. Over 40% of last year's recalls were related to problems with the newest vehicle in Tesla's lineup, the Cybertruck, an angular steel pickup that Tesla began delivering to customers in late 2023.

The company stated that it had received 887 warranty claims and numerous field reports related to the rearview camera failures, but it informed the NHTSA that it was unaware of any injuries, fatalities, or other collisions resulting from these failures.

Tesla will replace the computers in vehicles that have experienced a circuit board failure or stress that may lead to a circuit board failure, free of charge, the company announced.

Tesla didn't immediately respond to a request for comment.
