Recently, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) said that Tesla will recall more than 817,000 vehicles in the United States, the recall is because when these vehicles are activated, if the driver does not wear seat belts, the vehicle's audible alarm system may not start.
The recall includes the Model S/X produced between 2021 and 2022, the Model 3 produced between 2017 and 2022, and the Model Y model produced between 2020 and 2022. Tesla will fix the vehicle problem through the OTA method, and as of now, there have been no casualties caused by the seat belt tone problem.
The U.S. Highway Safety Administration believes that the lack of seatbelt tones is a safety risk, and Tesla must include it in the official safety recall in addition to solving the problem through software updates.
