Tesla has been forced to recall almost 240,000 cars after discovering a camera issue could cause serious accidents.

Tesla estimates that just 2% of the recalled vehicles actually have this defect. The automaker has identified 887 warranty claims and 68 field reports related to this issue, but it told the NHTSA that it's unaware of any related collisions, injuries, or fatalities.

The software update addresses computers that could short out, disabling safety features like the rearview camera.

The Tesla Model 3, S, X, and Y are being recalled to replace their car computers because their backup cameras may not work, even after a software update.
