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.

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.

You're right it's not. I don't understand why you're having so much trouble.

I'm not. I foolishly stuck my nose in to agree with someone who I thought had the right of things.
