Certain Tesla models have been recalled due a computer circuit board shortage causing the vehicles' rearview cameras to not display images properly.

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

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 company, in an announcement, is recalling around 239,000 units associated with a fault in the rear-view camera system. The failure, Reuters cited, comes when a reverse current causes the camera not to function as expected and thereby represents a potential risk to safety that may result for drivers.

Tesla said on Friday it is recalling about 239,000 vehicles in the United States because rear-view cameras may fail to work.

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

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

Tesla, led by Elon Musk, has announced a voluntary recall of over 239,000 of its electric cars for safety reasons. The recall involves Model 3 vehicles manufactured in 2024 and 2025, as well as Models S,
