The automaker will provide an over the air (OTA) software update to resolve the issue, according to the NHTSA.
Infotainment system CPU overheating could prevent the centre screen from displaying images from the rearview camera, warning lights and other information, NHTSA told the news agency.
Tesla in turn told NHTSA it was aware of 59 warranty claims and 59 field reports received since January which might be related to the issue but there were no reports of crashes or injuries.
