"Tesla is formally recalling 218,868 U.S. vehicles after regulators discovered a software glitch that can delay the rearview camera image by up to 11 seconds when drivers shift into reverse."
"The affected models include certain 2024-2025 Model 3 and Model Y, as well as 2023-2025 Model S and Model X vehicles running software version 2026.8.6 and equipped with Hardware 3 computers. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) determined the lag violates Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 111 on rear visibility and could increase crash risk."
"Yet this is no ordinary recall. Owners do not need to schedule a service-center visit, hand over keys, or wait for parts. Tesla identified the issue on April 10, halted further deployment of the faulty firmware the same day, and began pushing a corrective over-the-air (OTA) software update on April 11."
"By the time the NHTSA posted the recall notice on May 6, more than 99.92 percent of the affected fleet had already received the fix. Tesla reports no crashes, injuries, or fatalities linked to the glitch. Elon Musk has repeatedly called for exactly this change."

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration determined the lag violates Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 111 on rear visibility and could increase crash risk. Tesla will fix the issue with a simple over-the-air software update, so owners do not need to visit a service center. Tesla identified the issue on April 10, stopped further deployment, began the corrective update on April 11, and reported no crashes, injuries, or fatalities linked to the glitch.
