Tesla recalling more than 125,000 vehicles to fix seat belt warning system

Tesla has issued a recall for more than 125,000 vehicles in order to address a potential issue with the seat belt warning system. The electric car manufacturer announced that the recall affects certain Model S and Model X vehicles that were produced between 2012 and 2018.

The recall was initiated after Tesla discovered that the seat belt warning system in these vehicles may not function properly. Specifically, the company found that the system may not provide a warning if the driver or front passenger does not buckle their seat belt before starting the car. This could increase the risk of injury in the event of an accident.

In a statement, Tesla stated that it is not aware of any accidents or injuries related to this issue. However, the company is taking proactive measures to address the problem and ensure the safety of its customers.

Owners of the affected vehicles will be notified by Tesla and instructed to bring their cars to a Tesla service center for a free inspection and repair. The company will update the software in the affected vehicles to improve the functionality of the seat belt warning system.

This is not the first time that Tesla has issued a recall for its vehicles. In the past, the company has recalled vehicles for issues ranging from faulty airbags to defective steering components. Tesla has a history of being proactive in addressing safety concerns and working to quickly resolve any potential issues.

Customers who have questions or concerns about the recall can contact Tesla customer service for more information. The company is also encouraging all owners of affected vehicles to schedule an appointment for the necessary repairs as soon as possible.

Overall, Tesla’s decision to recall more than 125,000 vehicles to fix the seat belt warning system demonstrates the company’s commitment to prioritizing safety and ensuring the well-being of its customers. By taking swift action to address this issue, Tesla is working to maintain its reputation as a leader in the electric vehicle industry.
