Tesla recalled more than 239,000 vehicles because of a rearview visibility issue, according to a regulatory filing this week by the NHTSA.

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.

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,
