Obstruction of the driver’s view may increase the risk of an accident causing injury or death to road users.
Remedy	Owners of affected vehicles will be contacted in writing by Tesla. To address the issue, an over the air software update (OTA) update will be installed on all affected vehicles._x000D_ If your vehicle is running on software version 2024.20.3 or later, your vehicle is not subject to this issue.
