Tesla has announced a recall of thousands of vehicles due to a critical error. This issue affects several models and marks an increase in recent recalls for the company. Just last month, thousands of Cybertruck models were recalled. Elon Musk’s company is now recalling 125,227 vehicles due to a faulty seatbelt warning system. What prompted this recall and which models are affected? Here are the details.
Critical Seatbelt Error: Tesla Recalls 125,000 Vehicles
The reason behind Tesla’s recall is a malfunctioning seatbelt warning system that fails to alert drivers when they do not have their seatbelts fastened. This defect significantly increases the risk of injury in the event of an accident. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) stated that these vehicles do not comply with federal safety standards. Essentially, the seatbelt warning system is not functioning correctly, leading to a serious safety issue.
Affected Tesla Models
If you own any of the following models, your vehicle might be affected by this recall:
- 2012-2024 Model S

Tesla will replace the faulty sensor in these vehicles and initiate an over-the-air (OTA) update in June. This update will fix the malfunctioning seatbelt warning system.
Previous Recalls and Solutions
This recall is not Tesla’s first. In January, the company recalled 200,000 Model X, Model S, and Model Y vehicles due to a camera issue, which was resolved with a free software update. If you are a Tesla owner affected by this latest recall, there is no need to worry. Tesla has committed to taking the necessary steps to resolve this issue.
The OTA update, set to begin in June, will implement the required corrections in your vehicle. Rest assured, your car will be safe and up to standard following this update. Despite these setbacks, Tesla’s reputation for innovation and technology remains strong.
