AUSTIN, Texas — Tesla is recalling 218,868 ​vehicles in the U.S. due to delayed rearview camera ‌images that could increase the risk ⁠of a ​crash, the National ⁠Highway Traffic Safety Administration ‌said on ‌Wednesday.

The regulator said the rearview ⁠camera display ⁠in affected vehicles may be delayed when the car is put into reverse, reducing driver visibility.

The recall covers certain ‌Model 3, ​Model Y, Model S, and Model X vehicles, it said.

Tesla has released an over-the-air software update to address the issue.

Last month, the NHTSA closed ​a probe into ‌about 2.6 ‌million Tesla ⁠vehicles over a feature that allowed cars to be moved remotely, after finding it ‌was linked only ​to low-speed ‌incidents.
