Certain Tesla models have been recalled due a computer circuit board shortage causing the vehicles' rearview cameras to not display images properly.

A faulty rearview camera in some Teslas fails to properly display images, increasing the risk of a crash, traffic regulators say.

The development comes days after the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration opened a probe into 2.6 million Tesla vehicles in the US over reports of crashes involving a feature that allows users to move their cars remotely.

Tesla estimates that just 2% of the recalled vehicles actually have this defect. The automaker has identified 887 warranty claims and 68 field reports related to this issue, but it told the NHTSA that it's unaware of any related collisions, injuries, or fatalities.

The company, in an announcement, is recalling around 239,000 units associated with a fault in the rear-view camera system. The failure, Reuters cited, comes when a reverse current causes the camera not to function as expected and thereby represents a potential risk to safety that may result for drivers.

US automaker Tesla has recalled over 200,000 electric vehicles in the country over an issue related to its latest computer hardware. The problem can trigger a short circuit and disable certain safety features, including the rear-view camera. The recall order impacts recent versions of the Model 3, Model Y, Model S, and Model X vehicles.

The recall comprises 2019 models exclusively, and as of this writing, the Ford Motor Company still hasn't decided on the corrective action

Tesla has decided to recall approximately 239,000 vehicles due to a defect that could prevent the rear-view camera from displaying an image, Reuters reported. The issue is expected to be resolved through an over-the-air software update, the report said.

The software update addresses computers that could short out, disabling safety features like the rearview camera.

Tesla has been forced to recall almost 240,000 vehicles amid concerns that drivers could be involved in accidents relating to a rear camera issue. In new documents filed with the United States National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA),
