Tesla, Inc. recall for back over prevention, reported to NHTSA on Mar 18, 2022, covering about 947 vehicles.
The problem
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."
The risk
A delayed rearview camera image reduces the driver's rear view, increasing the risk of a crash.
