## What is wrong

Tesla, Inc. \(Tesla\) is recalling all 2017\-2020 Model 3 vehicles.  The rearview camera cable harness may be damaged by the opening and closing of the trunk lid, preventing the rearview camera image from displaying.


## What can happen

A rearview camera that does not function reduces the driver's rear view, increasing the risk of a crash.


## The remedy

Tesla Service will inspect and install a guide protector and new cable harness as necessary, free of charge.  Owner notification letters were mailed April 24, 2022.  Owners may contact Tesla customer service at 1\-877\-798\-3752.  Tesla's number for this recall is SB\-21\-17\-008.
