Massive Tesla Recall Due To Faulty Seat Belt Alert
Friday, February 4th, 2022 AutoTesla has issued a second recall in a week’s time, in this case due to a chime that would not always sound if a driver’s seat belt was unbuckled.
The faulty seat belt chime impacted 817,143 vehicles, including Model S, X, 3 and Y vehicle from the 2021 and 2022 model year.
Tesla has already begun introducing a software update to fix the issue in production vehicles, according to a document filed with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. Other Tesla vehicles will receive an over-the-air software update early this month.
The Tesla recalls that have surfaced in the last week are not burdensome for vehicle owners, or the company.
Drivers do not need to schedule a service appointment. Both are being fixed through software updates, which lessens the severity and cost of a recall.
