Tesla To be remember more than 475,000 won Model 3 and Model WILL sedan to address a defect that could cause the rearview camera to stop working, National Highway Traffic Safety Administration announced on Tuesday. The campaign includes Model 3 2017-2020 (representing nearly 360,000 units) with an unspecified Model S production range (NHTSA material appears to be incomplete as of time of publication) accounting for the remaining ~115,000 units.
Over time, using the trunk lid can wear down the wires including the cable that transmits signals from the rearview camera to the Tesla’s infotainment screen and main controls. Users may notice ongoing problems with the camera monitor before it fails completely.
“The Model 3 body harness is equipped with a solid-core coaxial cable that provides a feed to the rearview camera for display on the center display,” Tesla said in a recall report to NHTSA. “The coax cable is attached to a harness on the trunk lid and stretches or folds as the trunk opens and closes. When the trunk is closed, the harness will fold and possibly have a tight bend radius, causing stress on the core of the cable.”
“Over time, repeated opening and closing of the trunk lid can cause excessive wear on the coaxial cable. If the wear causes the core of the coaxial cable to separate, the rearview camera’s feed will not be visible on the screen. central figure”.
Tesla says it will mail owners notice to address the recall by mid-February.
