Owners of Telsa Cyber trucks are currently suffering from a slow rear camera display, forcing the company to implement a recall Thankfully, this can be fixed with a software update, and unlike the dangerous accelerator pedal defect earlier this year, owners will need to bring their trucks into the dealership

This is the fifth recall for the Cyber trucks since they went on sale in November Besides the gas pedal, a faulty wiper, loose trim, and some nasty software issues have hit this controversial electric truck

According to a report from the US Department of Transportation's National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), the recall is for “certain model year (MY) 2024 Cybertruck vehicles manufactured between November 13, 2023, and September 14, 2024, with specific software logic for low-voltage hardware operating in the Applies to “vehicles that are or were operating The total number of vehicles in the report is 27,185, which is nearly all cybertrucks ever manufactured

While not the most disruptive problem on the surface, the report notes that when a truck is shifted into reverse, it can take 6-8 seconds for the rearview camera display to load Not only that, but federal regulations require that the reverse camera image be displayed within 2 seconds of putting the shift lever into reverse, so the cyber truck is in violation of the regulation

This problem applies to CyberTrucks in version 20243252 and later A free software update is currently available that fixes this issue Thankfully, no accidents or injuries have been reported due to the backup camera issue Still, given the poor back-up visibility of cybertrucks (and all large vehicles), a functioning backup camera is essential

As noted by the NHTSA, “Delays in back-up camera display can affect a driver's rearward vision and increase the risk of a crash Drivers can continue to back up their vehicles by performing shoulder checks and using mirrors
