Highlights

  • Recall covers certain Model S sedan and Model X SUVs from 2021 and 2022, as well as Model 3 cars and Model Y SUVs.
  • The company has no reports of crashes or injuries, but it received 59 related warranty claims from January to early May.
  • The problem can cause the computer to lag or restart, making the center screen run slowly or appear blank.
  • Without the screen, the cars can lose rearview camera displays, settings that control windshield defrosters and indicators that say whether the cars are in drive, neutral and reverse.
  • Tesla has had a spate of safety problems this year, including multiple investigations opened by NHTSA, the nation’s road safety watchdog.
