2017–2020 Tesla Model 3, Tesla Model S, Tesla Model X: Back Over Prevention recall
NHTSA campaign 22V169000 · 947 units potentially affected · filed Mar 18, 2022
What's wrong
Tesla, Inc. (Tesla) is recalling certain 2018-2019 Model S, Model X, and 2017-2020 Model 3 vehicles equipped with Autopilot Computer 2.5 and operating certain firmware releases. The rearview image may not immediately display when the vehicle begins to reverse. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 111, "Rear Visibility."
Why it matters
A delayed rearview camera image reduces the driver's rear view, increasing the risk of a crash.

Tesla will perform an over-the-air (OTA) software update, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed May 17, 2022. Owners may contact Tesla customer service at 1-877-798-3752. Tesla's number for this recall is SB-22-00-004.
