Tesla has to recall over 800,000 cars due to a seat belt problem
Tesla is to make the latest in a long line of car recalls, this time on a truly grand scale. The case under investigation today involves more than 817,000 cars recalled due to a seat belt buzzer malfunction, Bloomberg said .
The mistake could prevent “drivers from realizing they are not wearing a seat belt,” says the recall filed with NHTSA, the US auto transportation safety agency.
According to the report, a total of 817,143 vehicles are affected, including Model S and Model X from 2021 to 2022, Model 3 from 2017-2022, and Model Y from 2020 to 2022. It marks the latest chapter in an interesting pattern of recalls from by Tesla in the past 6 months.
A few days ago it was known that Tesla was recalling tens of thousands of vehicles because the "rolling stop" function in its completely autonomous driving software (beta), that is the function that allows you to cross an intersection without stopping, a problem not just for an autonomous driving system.
This recall follows the massive recall of 475,000 vehicles in December, which consisted of vehicles susceptible to wiring damage and quality issues with the front fender-bumper (or, as some call it, a “frunk”). As we've noted over the years, Tesla has struggled with countless quality control issues. Some owners have reported bumpers ripped off in inclement weather, roofs flying off, and gaps in trim and panels, among many other flaws. The problem is that the assembly still seems very rough, rushed, and the results are visible. For example Car & Driver had claimed that the Tesla Model S, Model 3 and Model Y were "affected by quality problems" and claimed that "Tesla Model Y's cruise control system suddenly stopped working without warning. ". Sharon Silke Carty, editor of Car and Driver, told CNN: "Suddenly I was going 30 miles in the middle of the highway."
Tesla hopes to fix the latest problem with a software update, but in the meantime, check if you are in and put your belt on when you get on a Tesla!
