Tesla Inc. is recalling more than 817,000 vehicles in the United States because an audible warning may not be activated when a vehicle is started and the driver is not wearing a seat belt, a US auto safety regulator said. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) said Thursday that the vehicles, the 2021-2022 Model S and Model X, the 2017-2022 Model 3, and the 2020-2022 Model Y “occupant crashes,” will comply with a federal motor vehicle safety standard. fail in.

Affected Tesla Model S vehicles include vehicles manufactured between 2021-2022.
Tesla told NHTSA that as of January 31 it was unaware of any accidents or injuries related to the issue. The South Korea Automobile Testing and Research Institute (Katri) brought the situation to Tesla’s attention on January 6, Tesla said in a document filed with NHTSA. Tesla said a software error on the recalled vehicles could prevent the chime from being activated when the vehicle is started under certain circumstances.
The automaker said the issue was limited to situations where the chime was interrupted in the preceding drive cycle and the seat belt was not fastened after that interruption. Tesla said the issue does not affect activating the audible seat belt reminder chime when the vehicle exceeds 22 km/h and the driver seat belt is not detected as buckled. This condition does not affect the accuracy of the accompanying visible seat belt reminder. Tesla has come under increasing scrutiny from US regulators and has issued several recalls in recent months.
