2021-2023 Tesla Model Y Interior Camera Replacement TSB

Tesla has released Service Bulletin SB-24-17-005, a campaign bulletin addressing an issue with the interior camera in certain 2021-2023 Model S, Model X, and Model Y vehicles. This bulletin focuses on mitigating reduced driver attentiveness detection performance, particularly in low-light conditions. If you own a 2021-2023 Tesla Model Y, Model S, or Model X, this information is relevant to ensuring optimal functionality of your vehicle's driver monitoring systems.

The primary concern is the interior camera's ability to accurately detect driver attentiveness when lighting conditions are poor. This is a crucial function for advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS) that rely on monitoring the driver's focus on the road. The bulletin outlines a proactive measure to address this potential performance reduction.

Why This Matters

The interior camera plays a vital role in Tesla's driver monitoring system, which is designed to ensure driver engagement and safety. When the system's ability to detect driver attentiveness is compromised, especially in low-light environments, it could potentially affect the performance of features that rely on this input. While Tesla states this is a non-safety-related condition, maintaining optimal functionality of all vehicle systems is important for overall driving experience and safety.

What's Being Addressed

Tesla Service Bulletin SB-24-17-005 specifically targets the interior camera in vehicles equipped with the HW3 hardware configuration. The condition identified is a "reduced driver attentiveness detection performance in low-light conditions." To correct this, Tesla recommends replacing the interior camera. This ensures the system can consistently and accurately monitor driver attentiveness, regardless of ambient light levels.
