How car recalls are reported
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) initiated car recalls following reports from consumers about issues with their vehicles.
Tesla is recalling nearly 240,000 vehicles because of a problem affecting the rearview camera, which can cause a visibility issue for drivers.
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration said in a filing last week that the recall covers certain Model 3, Model S, Model X, and Model Y vehicles.
According to the recall documents, a short circuit on the computer circuit board could lead to the loss of the rearview camera feed. This malfunction may impair the driver's rear visibility, thereby heightening the likelihood of an accident.
A sum of 239,382 vehicles is currently subject to recall.
