WASHINGTON: Tesla Inc is recalling more than 817,000 vehicles in the United States because an audible alert may not activate when a vehicle starts and the driver has not buckled their seat belt, a US auto safety regulator said.
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) said Thursday the vehicles -- some 2021-2022 Model S and Model X, 2017-2022 Model 3, and 2020-2022 Model Y vehicles -- fail to comply with a federal motor vehicle safety standard on "Occupant Crash Protection" because the audible chime does not activate.
