SEAT BELTS Safety Recalls

High Priority #24V376000 Plain English
Component

SEAT BELTS:FRONT:WARNING LIGHT/DEVICES

Manufacturer
Tesla, Inc.
What Happened
The seat belt warning system in your Tesla helps alert you and others if you or a passenger hasn't buckled up. Unfortunately, in certain 2012-2024 Model S, 2015-2024 Model X, 2017-2023 Model 3, and 2020-2023 Model Y vehicles, the system might not work as intended.
Risk if Unfixed
If the seat belt warning light and chime don't go off when someone isn't buckled in, you might not be aware if they're at risk of injury in a crash. This could lead to a higher chance of serious harm.
Free Fix
Tesla will send a software update directly to your vehicle, which will fix the issue for free. You should check your email for the recall notice and schedule an over-the-air update as soon as possible.
