Over 475,000 Tesla (TSLA) cars have been recalled due to technical defects that may increase the risk of accidents. Two separate recalls are in place, one regarding the rear-view camera in the Tesla Model 3 and the other involves the frunk, or front trunk, latches in the Model S.
The large recall nearly equals Teslaâs total global deliveries last year, as just under 500,000 total cars were delivered in 2020, according to Teslaâs annual report.
Two voluntary recall reports were filed with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, with Tesla stores and service centers notified last week of the recalls.
All Model 3 cars made between 2017 and 2020, a total of 356,309 vehicles, are being recalled due to a cable that, over time, may separate after wear and tear, blocking the rear-view camera feed.
A substantial number of Model S cars are under recall as well, due to issues with the front-trunk latch that could result in the hood opening unexpectedly. 119,009 vehicles have the faulty trunk latch, according to the NHTSA filing.
The inside of a Tesla vehicle is viewed as it sits parked in a new Tesla showroom and service center in Red Hook, Brooklyn on July 5, 2016 in New York City.
