Tesla is recalling
more than 475,000 cars for potential problems that may increase the risk of accidents.

Two defects in question
were caused by design or design manufacturing,

prompting separate recalls filed with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration last week.

One recall that affects all 2017 through 2020 Tesla Model 3s

stems from issues with a cable leading to the rearview camera.

The cable may become damaged by the opening and closing of the trunk lid and eventually, prevent the camera image from displaying,
　
according to the filing.

The second, involves the frunk

— or front trunk —

latches in Model S sedans from 2014 or later.

According to the NHTSA filing,
some latches were improperly installed at factories

and could result in the front hood unexpectedly flying open and obstructing the driver’s view of the road.
