BACK OVER PREVENTION:SOFTWARE
- The defect
- Tesla, Inc. (Tesla) is recalling certain 2024 Cybertruck vehicles. The rearview camera image may be delayed after shifting into reverse. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 111, "Rear Visibility."
- What it can cause
- A delayed rearview image reduces the driver's view of what is behind the vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash.
- What the dealer does
- Tesla released an over-the-air (OTA) software update, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed November 25, 2024. Owners may contact Tesla customer service at 1-877-798-3752. Tesla's number for this recall is SB-24-00-016.
- NHTSA's note
- Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.nhtsa.gov.
The repair is free, whatever the age or mileage of the vehicle, and whether or not you are the original owner. This one is fixed by a software update rather than a workshop visit.
Which vehicles
A recall reaches a range of VINs inside these model years, not every car built in them. Yours may not be covered even if it is listed here, and the only way to find out is NHTSA's own VIN lookup .

How this campaign compares
At 27,185 vehicles this is a bigger campaign than 85% of the 19,818 vehicle recalls filed since 1995 whose size NHTSA published. The middle campaign on file covers 472. It covers one model year, 2024, and the defect was reported to NHTSA in 2024, at or before the oldest model year it covers — as current as a recall gets.
Tesla vehicles have been recalled over the back over prevention 5 times before this, most recently in January 2024 as 24V035000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
This site holds the complaint record for all 1 model year the campaign names. Their owners have filed 168 complaints with NHTSA, 8 of them before this campaign was filed. 3 of those name the back over prevention, the system this recall is about — a count of complaints, not of this defect.
The vehicles on this campaign carry 10 other recalls published here, the newest being: 26V255000 (wheels), 25V735000 (exterior lighting), 25V699000 (exterior lighting), 25V170000 (structure).
Check your own car
A VIN check is the only answer for a specific vehicle, and it also shows every other open recall on it, which is usually the reason it is worth doing rather than reading one campaign.
Filed by Tesla, Inc. with NHTSA on September 26, 2024 as campaign 24V718000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
