What this recall means for you
Some cameras in these vehicles were wired incorrectly at the factory. The fisheye and narrow camera cable terminals were installed in the wrong positions in the harness connector, so the camera views are swapped.
Because of the swapped views, the cameras may fail to detect crossing objects and sharp lane curves. This can impair Autosteer and Automatic Emergency Braking, increasing the risk of a crash.
Tesla will correct the swapped terminals and recalibrate the cameras at no cost. Owners can contact Tesla customer service at 1-877-798-3752 and reference recall SB-22-17-007. You can also check your vehicle identification number for open recalls.
