The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) said Tuesday that Tesla Inc. is recalling about 130,000 vehicles in the United States due to an overheating problem that could cause the center’s touchscreen display to malfunction.
He remembers that includes Tesla’s S and X from the 2021 and 2022 model years and its 3 and Y from the 2022 model years. According to NHTSA, the electric vehicle maker will provide an over-the-air software update to resolve the issue.
NHTSA said the infotainment system’s CPU overheating could prevent the center screen from displaying images from the rearview camera, warning lights and other information.
Tesla told NHTSA that it was aware of 59 warranty claims and 59 field reports it received since January that may be related to the issue but that there are no reports of accidents or injuries related to the issue.
Tesla recalled 48,000 Model 3 performance vehicles in the US in April for an issue that could not display the speedometer in “track mode.”
Tesla has issued several recalls for camera-related issues. In March, Tesla recalled 947 vehicles in the United States because the rearview image may not be displayed immediately when they begin to reverse.
In December, Tesla recalled 356,309 of its 2017-2020 Model 3 vehicles to address rearview camera issues.
“The rearview camera cable harness may be damaged by the opening and closing of the trunk lid, preventing the rearview camera image from being displayed,” NHTSA said.
Tesla has issued 11 recalls this year, ranking fourth in 2022 with Chrysler parent Stellantis.
