Due to touch screens overheating and having the potential to go blank, U.S. automaker Tesla is recalling about 130,000 vehicles in certain Model S sedan and Model X SUV models from 2021 and 2022, as well as Model 3 cars and Model Y SUVs from 2022.
During the fast-charging process, the central processing computers may not cool sufficiently, causing the computer to lag or restart and making the center screen run slowly or appear blank, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.
Without the center screen, the cars can lose rearview camera displays, settings that control windshield defrosters and indicators that say whether the cars are in drive, neutral and reverse, increasing the risk of a crash.
