Tesla has issued another recall due to issues with the touch screens in several of its models. It’s the company’s second recall this month. 

The recall impacts 129,960 vehicles and includes certain 2021-2022 Model S, Model X and 2022 Model 3 and Model Y vehicles operating certain firmware releases.

That lagging or restarting can cause several problems that could increase the risk of a crash including not displaying the rearview camera image, as well as issues with gear selection, windshield visibility control settings and warning lights. 

Affected vehicles are expected to be fixed with an over-the-air software update.
