Tesla is recalling certain model-year 2018-2019 Model S, Model X, and 2017-2020 Model 3 vehicles equipped with Autopilot Computer 2.5 and running a firmware release between 2021.44.25 and 2021.44.25.2, inclusive. There may be a delay in the rearview image display that is greater than two seconds of the start of a backing event, reducing the driver’s rear view and increasing the risk of a crash.
Owner notification letters are expected to be mailed on May 17, 2022. Owners may contact Tesla customer service at 877-798-3752 or the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration’s vehicle safety hotline at 888-327-4236 to learn more.
To resolve the issue, Tesla will perform an over-the-air (OTA) software update.
