Electric vehicle manufacturer Tesla is pulling back 218,868 cars across the United States following concerns about malfunctioning backup camera systems, federal transportation safety officials announced Wednesday.
According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, the backup camera screens in the affected vehicles may experience delays when drivers shift into reverse gear, potentially compromising visibility and raising collision risks.
The safety recall affects multiple Tesla models, including the Model 3, Model Y, Model S, and Model X vehicles, NHTSA officials confirmed.
Tesla has already deployed a wireless software update to fix the technical problem affecting the backup camera systems.
This latest recall follows NHTSA’s recent decision last month to close an investigation into approximately 2.6 million Tesla vehicles concerning a remote movement feature. The agency determined that function was only connected to minor, slow-speed accidents.
