IT House reported on February 7 that Tesla is recalling more than 817,000 vehicles in the United States, according to Reuters. The reason for the recall is that the buzzer may not start when the car starts and the seat belt is not fastened.
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) said Thursday that vehicles for the 2021-2022 Model S and Model X, 2017-2022 Model 3 and 2022 Model Y were affected and that Tesla will perform a wireless (OTA) software update to address the issue.
For the recall, Tesla did not give a relevant response. However, Some Tesla fans bought ad space in New York's Times Square, posted a tweet from the "Tesla Silicon Valley Club", and wrote a big "OTA upgrade is not a recall" next to it.
In a subsequent tweet, the Twitter account said that Tesla has been ignored and underestimated, and praised it for "single-handedly opening up the electric vehicle market" and called for more trust for Tesla.
IT House understands that Tesla is under increasing scrutiny from U.S. regulators and has issued multiple recalls in recent months. On Tuesday, Tesla said it was recalling 53,822 U.S. vehicles equipped with FSD fully autonomous driving (Beta) software that could allow certain models to perform "rolling stops" without stopping completely at intersections that pose a safety risk.
