Tesla, Inc. is recalling approximately 125,233 vehicles including certain 2012-2024 Model S, 2015-2024 Model X, 2017-2023 Model 3, and 2020-2023 Model Y vehicles. The recall was issued because the seat belt warning light and audible chime may fail to activate when the driver is unbelted, which violates federal safety standards for occupant crash protection. Tesla is addressing this issue through a free over-the-air (OTA) software update that will fix the software logic error.
If the seat belt warning system fails to alert the driver that they are unbelted, there is an increased risk that the driver will remain unrestrained, significantly increasing the potential for serious injury or death during a vehicle crash.
