## What is wrong

Tesla, Inc. \(Tesla\) is recalling certain 2017, 2021\-2023 Model 3, 2020\-2023 Model Y, 2021\-2023 Model S, and Model X vehicles operating software version 2026.8.6. The rearview camera image may be delayed when the vehicle is placed in reverse. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 111, "Rear Visibility."


## What can happen

A delayed rearview image reduces the driver's view behind the vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash.


## The remedy

Tesla has released an over\-the\-air \(OTA\) software update, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed July 3, 2026. Owners may contact Tesla customer service at 1\-877\-798\-3752. Tesla's number for this recall is SB\-26\-00\-001.
