Tesla has recalled more than 239,000 of its Model 3, S, X and Y electric vehicles due to software problems that might disable their rearview cameras.

A faulty rearview camera in some Teslas fails to properly display images, increasing the risk of a crash, traffic regulators say.

Tesla has announced a recall of approximately 239,000 vehicles due to a software issue that could cause the rear-view camera to not display images.

Tesla said on Friday it was recalling about 239,000 vehicles over an issue that could cause the rear-view camera to not display an image, but it could be resolved by an over-the-air software update. The development comes days after the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration opened a probe into 2.

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.
