Tesla is recalling 183,450 Model 3, Model S, Model X and Model Y vehicles manufactured between 2012 and 2024. The reason for the recall is that the seat occupancy detection and, therefore, the visual and audible driver’s seat belt warning cannot be activated.
The remedy is to update the software to a more recent version.
The Kraftfahrt-Bundesamt (KBA) monitors the recall under the reference number “13972R“. The internal manufacturer code is “SB-24-00-008“.
