Tesla Issues Recall for 200,000 Vehicles Due to Rearview Camera Glitch
Tesla's reported "safety recall" of 200,000 vehicles is actually an over-the-air software update from a month ago, addressing a rearview camera issue in certain Model S, Model X, and Model Y vehicles with HW4. The problem was promptly addressed with a software update deployed at the end of December, and the fix began rolling out to all affected vehicles on January 3, 2024. The debate arises from whether it's fair to label these issues as "recalls," as they are often resolved through over-the-air updates before owners are even aware of the problem.
