Tesla, Inc.: 2017-2022 Model 3 Recalled for Incorrectly Reassembled Seat Belt Anchors

Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

Tesla is recalling approximately 24,064 Model 3 vehicles from the 2017-2022 model years because certain seat belt components may have been put back together incorrectly during a previous service appointment. Specifically, the second-row left seat belt buckle and the second-row center seat belt anchor may not be properly secured. Tesla Service will inspect these components and reassemble them correctly if necessary, free of charge.

Risk

If a seat belt anchor is not correctly assembled, the seat belt may not perform as intended during a crash. This failure to properly restrain an occupant significantly increases the risk of injury during a collision.

What You Should Do

  1. Identify if your vehicle is affected by checking if it is a 2017-2022 Tesla Model 3 that has previously received service involving the second-row seat belts.
  2. Contact Tesla customer service at 1-877-798-3752 and reference recall number SB-22-20-004 to schedule a free inspection.
  3. Bring your vehicle to a Tesla Service center where technicians will inspect and, if necessary, correctly reassemble the second-row seat belt buckle and center anchor at no cost to you.
  4. For additional information, you may contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153) or visit www.nhtsa.gov.
