Tesla Recalls Over 800,000 Vehicles in the US for Seat Belt

Published

By

Tesla recalls over 817,000 vehicles in the United States because the seat belt reminder chimes may not sound when the car gets started, and the driver not buckled up. The recall affects the Model S sedan and Model X SUV from 2021 to 2022, as well as the Model 3 sedan from 2017 to 2022 and the Model Y SUV from 2020 to 2022, according to documents filed by safety authorities on Thursday. When the automobile gets started, the chimes must sound, and when the front seatbelts get buckled, they must cease.

The problem occurs only if the driver leaves the car in the previous driving cycle while the chime is ringing, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration’s recall documentation.

Early this month, Tesla will send out an over-the-air software update to solve the problem. Without the chime, a driver may not realize their seat belt is unbuckled, increasing the risk of harm during a crash, according to the safety agency.

According to the documents, the corporation does not aware of any crashes or injuries problem. There is still a visible seat belt reminder.

The issue was detected on January 6 by the Automobile Testing and Research Institute of South Korea. According to the documents, Tesla conducted an investigation and found that a recall got required on January 25. If the vehicle travels faster than 22 km/h and the driver’s seatbelt is not secured, the chime will continue to sound.

The recall is the largest in the company’s US history. It comes as the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, or NHTSA, is increasing its scrutiny of the Austin, Texas-based firm.

According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, Tesla will recall over 54,000 cars and SUVs because its “Full Self-Driving” software allows them to go through stop signs without coming to a complete stop.

Tesla’s “Full Self-Driving” software gets tested on public roads by a select group of owners. It can’t drive itself. Therefore drivers must be ready to intervene at any time, according to the business.

Ford, GM, Volvo, and others are making rapid modifications to gain a piece of the EV pie in a crowded market. Bloomberg News reported on Tuesday that Ford Motor is proposing an extra investment of up to $20 billion (approximately Rs. 1,49,935 crore) in its electric vehicles.

The investment of $10 billion (approximately Rs. 74,940 crores) to $20 billion (about Rs. 1,49,935 crore) will be spaced out over the next five to ten years, according to the latest report. And it will include transitioning its present factories throughout the world to electric-vehicle manufacture.

The No. 2 US manufacturer has already vowed to spend over $30 billion (approximately Rs. 224860 crores) on EVs, including battery development, by 2030 under a plan dubbed “Ford+” aimed at making it more valuable to investors as a technology firm.

Major manufacturers such as General Motors, Ford, and Volvo Cars are undertaking rapid modifications to compete with rival Tesla in a competitive EV market.

Ford has considered spinning off a tiny section of its electric vehicle business as part of the reorganization, according to the report, to capture value in an electric startup environment encouraged by investor sentiment.

According to the source, the new strategy includes recruiting undefined engineers to work on ideas like battery chemistry, artificial intelligence, and electric vehicle software, highlighting the increasing importance of software and digital connectivity in the sector.

“We’re implementing our ambitious Ford+ strategy to change the firm and prosper in the future era of connected, electrified vehicles,” a spokeswoman for the company said, adding that the company does not comment on rumors or speculations. On Tuesday, Ford’s stock surged as much as 2.7 percent.
