The year 2022 has started quite badly for Tesla. The company announced that it had recalled tens of thousands of vehicles recently due to different problems. In fact, it was said that the software of 54 thousand cars was overhauled because the problem in the autonomous driving software endangered the lives of the users. But the company’s CEO, Elon Musk, is currently facing the biggest recall in its history. Here are the details…
Tesla recalled 817,000 vehicles for safety reasons!
Tesla is recalling almost all vehicles from its four current model series due to a possible seat belt bell malfunction. According to the announced data, 817 thousand 143 Model 3, Model S, Model X and Model Y users will have to return their vehicle. In addition, the campaign with the code 22V045000 includes 2017-2022 Model 3, 2021-22 Model S, 2021-2022 Model X and 2020-2022 Model Y vehicles.
A warning bell should sound when a vehicle is started and the driver is not wearing a seat belt, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration announced on Thursday. Affected by this situation, Tesla had to issue this recall because it did not comply with federal vehicle safety standards for occupant collision protection.
The NHTSA (National Highway Traffic Safety Administration) says that without a functioning bell system, drivers may not know their belts are unbuckled, which increases the risk of injury or death in a collision. Of course, Tesla says he’s not aware of any related accidents or injuries.
Owners of affected vehicles are expected to be notified of the security measure by April 1. It also seems likely that the over-the-air (OTA) update fix will be available sooner than expected. In addition, according to the statement made by Tesla, it is not expected to require vehicle owners to bring their vehicles for service. However, it is stated that they need to call for detailed information.
