Tesla is recalling 27,185 Cybertruck vehicles because of visibility problems with their rearview camera. It is the fifth recall for the stainless steel electric pickup truck since it first hit the road at the end of 2023.
The reason for the recall is a software issue involving the affected trucks' rearview display screen, which may remain blank for up to eight seconds after a driver shifts into reverse, Tesla disclosed in a filing with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA). The U.S. requires rearview screens to activate within two seconds of shifting into reverse.
"A delayed rearview image reduces the driver's view of what is behind the vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash," the company stated in the notice.
The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) has cautioned that a looming government shutdown could lead to longer wait times for travelers at airport security checkpoints. The warning comes as the TSA announced it is expecting a record 40 million airline passengers to take to the skies over a two-week period that began Thursday.
With Christmas only a few days away, many Americans may be dreaming of a white Christmas, but few will end up walking in a winter wonderland. The warm and above-average temperatures in the weather forecast across the continental U.S. for Christmas week of 2024 are expected to keep any precipitation that falls as rain, not snow, for many parts of the country.
