The recall covers certain Models Y, S and X from the 2023 model year. All are equipped with “Full Self-Driving” computer 4.0 and run software version 2023.44.30 through 2023.44.30.6 or 2023.44.100.

The company says in documents posted by the U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration that software instability may prevent the camera image from showing images while the Teslas are in reverse. The safety agency says that can increase the risk of a crash.

Tesla says in documents that it is not aware of any crashes or injuries. Documents say the problem has been fixed with an online software update.

Owners will be notified by letter starting March 22.

    I don’t misunderstand how recalls work. I’m simply saying this one is completely unimportant. Tesla stated no accidents or injuries were caused by this defect, but that’s really irrelevant just like the rest of this “news”.

      No, what you said was that it was misleading, meaning the author implied something that was untrue, which is not the case.

      I will concede it is fairly insignificant in the grand scheme of “news” or even “automotive news” and probably not worthy of reporting, and that Tesla is reported on at an absolute landslide compared to other OEMs, but I wouldn’t say it’s “misleading” in any way.

        For fucks sake it’s not that hard. This isn’t news. Click a button and problem goes away. It’s misleading because it gets you to click on a completely unimportant story. I get gotcha winning is an internet thing, but the context of the conversation is important and ignoring it for a quick gotcha isn’t a win.
