Tesla announced the recall of nearly 240,000 vehicles due to an issue with the rear camera, which can fail when the car is turned on, increasing the risk of accidents.
The failure, caused by a “reverse current” that causes a short circuit on the computer’s circuit board, also does not comply with U.S. safety standards. Models like the Tesla Model 3, Model S, Model X, and Model Y, manufactured between 2023 and 2025, are included in the recall.
The company has already recorded 887 warranty claims and 68 reports related to the defect through December 2024. As a corrective measure, Tesla is installing a new version of the computer’s circuit board in models still in production.
The issue highlights a recent history of large-scale recalls by the company, which recalled more than 5 million cars in the previous year. Recent recalls have included problems like seat belt failures, software unable to detect unlocked hoods, and defects that increased the risk of collisions.
Despite being a pioneer in automotive technology, Tesla faces criticism for the frequency and scale of technical issues in its vehicles.
