Tesla said Friday it was recalling about 239,000 vehicles over an issue that could cause the rear-view camera to not display an image, but it could be resolved by an over-the-air software update.

In a small number of affected vehicles, a reverse current may occur during power-up, potentially causing a short circuit on the car's computer board, which could result in the rear-view camera becoming inoperative, the automaker said.

The development comes days after the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration opened a probe into 2.6 million Tesla vehicles in the U.S. over reports of crashes involving a feature that allows users to move their cars remotely.
