Tesla has issued a recall for about 210,000 vehicles over a rearview camera video delay problem.

On the 7th (local time), foreign media including Fox News said Tesla recalled 218,868 vehicles due to a defect that causes the camera video to appear late when reversing. The issue has been noted to increase the risk of a crash.

The recall covers the 2020–2023 Model Y, the 2017 and 2021–2023 Model 3, and the 2021–2023 Model X and Model S. These vehicles are known to be equipped with Tesla's Autonomous Driving computer "HW3."

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) said a delay or loss of rearview camera video can limit a driver's view and raise the risk of a crash.

Tesla said there have been no deaths or injuries tied to the issue, but 27 insurance claims and two reports potentially related to it have been filed.
