What this recall means for you
The rearview camera cable harness can be damaged by repeated opening and closing of the trunk lid. When the harness is damaged, the rearview camera image may not display, which reduces the driver's view behind the vehicle.
A rearview camera that does not work leaves you with less visibility when backing up, which increases the risk of a crash.
Tesla will inspect the vehicle and, if needed, install a guide protector and a new cable harness at no cost at an authorized service center. Owner notification letters were mailed April 24, 2022. You can contact Tesla customer service at 1-877-798-3752, and you should check your vehicle's VIN for open recalls.
