Tesla recalls nearly 200,000 vehicles over faulty backup camera
CBSN
Tesla is recalling nearly 200,000 vehicles in the U.S. because the backup camera can malfunction while the car is in reverse.
The recall covers certain 2023 Y, S and X model vehicles. All are equipped with "Full Self-Driving" computer 4.0 and run software version 2023.44.30 through 2023.44.30.6 or 2023.44.100.
The electric automaker says in documents posted by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration that software instability may prevent the camera image from showing images while the Teslas are in reverse. The safety agency says that can increase the risk of a crash.
