According to documents filed with the US safety regulators, there will be a recall of more than 475,000 cars.

The electric vehicle firm announced it was recalling over 350,000 vehicles because of potential rear-view camera issues.

More than 111,000 Model S vehicles will be recalled because of problems with the boot.

The 500,000 cars delivered byTesla last year is almost equivalent to the total recall figure.

The company has been approached by the media.

A safety report submitted this month estimates that a small percentage of recalled Model 3s may have a malfunctioning rear-view camera.

Over time "repeated opening and closing of the trunk lid" may cause excessive wear to a cable that provides the rear-view camera feed, according to a Safety Recall report submitted byTesla to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.

The rear-view camera feed is not visible on the centre display if the core of the cable separates.

The risk of collision may be increased by the loss of the review camera display.

The Model S recall involves vehicles that may have a problem with a "secondary latch" on the boot.

The front trunk may open without warning and obstruct the driver's visibility, if the primary latch is inadvertently released, according to a Safety Recall report filed on 21 December.

The report states that around 14 percent of the recalled Model S's may have the defect.

In both cases, the reports state that there are no crashes, injuries or deaths related to the potential faults.

The electric vehicle firm has had safety issues to deal with before.

The passenger play feature allows games to be played while the car is moving.

While the car is moving, the feature will be locked.
