The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) issued a recall notification for over 27,000 Tesla Cybertrucks for a rearview camera that may fail to display.
Tesla is recalling 27,185 of its 2024 Cybertruck vehicles. In the NHTSA report the automotive company said that “the rearview camera image may be delayed after shifting into reverse.” If a rearview image is delayed or does not display, it can fail to show what is behind the driver’s vehicle. This issue can increase the risk of a crash, the report said.
In addition, the NHTSA said that the Tesla Cybertruck “fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 111, ‘Rear Visibility.’”
To fix the issue, Tesla has released an over-the-air software update for owners with the effected vehicles. This service will be completed for free. Recall notification letters are expected to be sent by Nov. 25. Owners may contact Tesla customer service at 1-877-798-3752. Tesla's number for this recall is SB-24-00-016.

In August, the NHTSA announced that the 2024 Tesla Cybertruck was being recalled because a truck bed trim may detach and a front windshield wiper failure.
In the NHTSA report, the automotive company recalled 11,383 Cybertrucks and said the trunk bed trim sail applique could have been improperly adhered and could loosen. If the vehicle has a loose applique, it can detach from the vehicle. When this happens it can create a road hazard for other drivers and increase the risk of a crash.
For the front windshield wiper failure, Tesla recalled 11,688 of its Cybertruck vehicles. The automotive company said the excessive electrical current can cause the front windshield wiper motor controller to fail. A windshield wiper that fails can reduce a driver’s visibility and increase the risk of a crash, per the NHTSA report submitted in June.
Recall notification letters were scheduled to be mailed out on Aug. 18, the reports said.
