Tesla is Bawdy Tales of Edo: Octopus & Sea Shellrecalling a whopping 475,318 vehicles.
Certain Model S and Model 3 EVs from the Texas-based carmaker have safety issues with the front trunk (known as the portmanteau, "frunk") and rearview camera display, based on filings with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.
A recall from Dec. 21 details how the frunk hood can open while driving and block the drivers view out the windshield. The latches can come undone because of a misalignment problem. Tesla is recalling all Model S models from 2014 through 2021, affecting as many as 119,009 cars. Those owners can have a Tesla Service Center inspect and reposition the latches if necessary, at no cost.
Another Dec. 21 recall affects 356,309 Model 3 vehicles from 2017 through 2020. The rearview camera display malfunctions because opening and closing the trunk over time wears out a cable. The camera feed eventually is cut off and not available when using the camera in reverse. An estimated 1 percent of cars will be affected, according to NHTSA.
"Unavailability of the rearview camera display may affect the driver’s rear view and increase the risk of a collision," NHTSA stated.
Model 3 owners can bring in affected cars for inspection. Tesla Service workers can install a guide protector in the trunk to stop even more wear on the cable. If the cable is beyond repair, Tesla will install new parts, including a protector.

While these recalls are among the biggest in Tesla history, the EV maker has recalled cars for more egregious safety issues in the past. In 2018, over 120,000 Model S vehicles were recalled because of a steering issue with corroding bolts. Earlier this year, there was another bolt problem but with the brakes.
A more alarming screen display recall from early 2021 affected nearly 160,000 Model X and S vehicles with the front touchscreen dying. Luckily, those cars have other screens to control driving, but in the newer Model 3 and Y, all operations are controlled on the front center screen.
