JAKARTA – Tesla is again recalling the United States market with a total of 218,868 vehicles. This step was taken after a malfunction was found in the rear camera system that could make the image display not appear when the car is positioned backwards.
Reported by Carscoops, Friday, May 8, the problem comes from the rear camera software which in some cases fails to display visuals normally. This problem was found in a number of Tesla models, including the Model 3, Model Y, Model S, and Model X produced from 2017 to 2023.
In the safety document it is stated that the disturbance can appear when the new vehicle is turned on and then immediately moved to reverse mode. When this condition occurs, the rear camera screen can be empty for about 11 seconds.
This condition is considered quite dangerous because it reduces the driver’s visibility when parking a vehicle or exiting a certain area. In addition to increasing the risk of accidents, this problem is also considered not to meet federal safety standards in the United States.
Tesla revealed that so far there have been no reports of accidents or injuries directly related to the glitch. However, the company has received a number of warranty claims as well as reports from users in the field.
Unlike conventional recalls that require owners to come to an official workshop, this problem is fixed through a remote or over-the-air (OTA) software update. Tesla also said that more than 99.9 percent of affected vehicles have received the update so that the problem has basically been resolved.
