Tesla Cybertruck's Latest Camera Glitch Recall

Tesla has issued a recall for more than 27,000 units of its electric Cybertruck model. This marks the fifth recall for the vehicle within a year.

Details of the Recall

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) initiated this latest recall due to a delay in the rear-view camera's image display, which could potentially increase crash risks as per the official notice. The delayed display of the rear-view camera is reportedly due to a software glitch in the Cybertruck's system.

  • Some vehicles experienced up to eight seconds of delay in the rear-view camera.
  • Despite this, no accidents or injuries have been reported.

Steps Taken by Tesla

Tesla is now working on a software update to rectify this problem. Earlier this year, Tesla faced similar challenges that resulted in other recalls due to accelerator issues. These recalls underline the continuous effort required to maintain product quality and safety.

  1. Tesla has rolled out its Full Self-Driving (FSD) software on certain Cybertrucks.
  2. Notification letters will be sent to affected owners by November 25.

The company informed NHTSA that display screens in affected trucks might remain blank for up to eight seconds after shifting into reverse, violating US regulations.
