In January 2025, Tesla recalled certain vehicles fitted with particular HW4 car computers because a fault could cause loss of the rearview-camera display. The US announcement drew attention to a hardware and software issue relevant to safety functions. A model name or the presence of HW4 alone did not establish that an individual car was affected; owners needed the applicable recall information and VIN check.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n
On a small proportion of affected vehicles, the power-up sequence could produce reverse current and a short circuit on the computer board, causing the rear-camera display to fail. That was the condition identified in the official recall. The original article discussed possible wider effects of a computer failure:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The wider effects discussed in the original report included:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
An owner seeing camera failures or safety warnings should follow the vehicle\u2019s instructions and contact Tesla. The fact that a car can still move does not establish that every feature is functioning or that continuing a particular journey is appropriate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The original report initially focused on the US filing and speculated about similar hardware in Europe. Euro NCAP is an independent assessment organisation, not the regulator to which a manufacturer necessarily files a recall. A US recall should not be assumed to define the exact European population; the relevant Tesla market information and the vehicle\u2019s VIN are the appropriate starting points.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The repair approach combined a software change with inspection or replacement where necessary:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The recall concerned certain vehicles in these model-year groups, not every example:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The original report described an increase in failures around November 2024 and linked the issue to hardware, software and colder conditions. That context did not replace the specific eligibility and remedy for an individual vehicle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The practical steps were:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The recall showed why a software remedy and the condition of installed hardware need to be considered together. It did not establish that every HW4 vehicle suffered the fault or that every loss of a camera had the same cause.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
For European owners, the useful approach was to consult Tesla\u2019s official market-specific recall information, check the vehicle\u2019s VIN, keep software current and ask Tesla to assess symptoms. This historical account does not replace those vehicle-specific instructions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
