Tesla announced on Dec. 30, that it had agreed to recall 134,951 Model S and Model X vehicles over the safety of its touchscreen displays, which could elevate the risk of a crash after the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) sought the recall last month.
The carmaker said in a separate notice to the auto safety regulator on Dec. 29 that it will recall 356,309 Model 3 vehicles made between 2017 and 2020, as the rear-view camera cable harnesses could be damaged from opening and closing the trunk, preventing the rearview camera image from displaying.The two safety issues may increase the chances of an accident and Tesla said that it will inspect the recalled cars and make any needed repairs at no cost to owners.
