Tesla recalling nearly 200,000 vehicles because software glitch can cause backup camera to go dark
Tesla is recalling nearly 200,000 vehicles in the U.S. because the backup camera may not display an image.
The recall covers certain Models Y, S and X from the 2023 model year. 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 company says in documents posted by the U.S. 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.
Tesla says in documents that it is not aware of any crashes or injuries. Documents say the problem has been fixed with an online software update.
Owners will be notified by letter starting March 22.
So not a recall just a software update.
It's a recall, it's just that they can fix it with as software update.
I have older cars, do people actually use back up cameras i'm used to looking.
I just got a new(ish) car after my 21 year old Dodge became too expensive to repair anymore.
The backup camera is amazing! I have a much better field of view than I do with the mirror, and it also has this little wire-grid overlay to make it even easier to park perfectly straight and right up against a wall without touching it.
Are you fishing for the Elon hate comments or really think this is news worthy?
Are you saying that a recall for any vehicle isn't noteworthy?
Because I would have posted it anyway, no matter which manufacturer was involved, because people need to be aware of recalls.

Really? Because NHTSA has 40 vehicle recalls on file so far this month, some of which are much more serious, but this is the only one you've posted about. Recalls happen all the time for all sorts of reasons. This one is not really noteworthy, no.
