OFFICIAL REPORTED ISSUE
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."

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

OFFICIAL REPORTED 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.

OWNER PREPARATION
Keep the affected display or visibility function and the circumstances of an observed problem in the record. Do not recreate a visibility failure in traffic.

REMEDY TIMING IN THE DATED SOURCE
Confirm current remedy arrangements
The source does not explicitly establish current remedy availability. Ask the manufacturer about the applicable remedy, required parts or software, appointment arrangements and any interim instructions.
Current availability for your VIN: unconfirmed.
