The American car manufacturer Tesla continues to embarrass itself, and the latest in a series of safety problems is a problem with the seat belt warning system. This is why Tesla is recalling over 120,000 cars.

First of all, it should be pointed out that Tesla has not received information about any crashes, injuries or deaths related to this safety system. The system is supposed to send visual and audible warnings to drivers when they are not buckled in, but NHTSA has determined that it may not work as intended in some vehicles.

According to federal vehicle safety standards, the visual warning should last at least one minute and the audible warning should last at least four seconds. Luckily for Tesla, the problem will be fixed via an over-the-air (OTA) software update.

The safety issue includes the Model S (2012 to 2024), Model X (2015 to 2024), Model 3 (2017 to 2023), and Model Y (2020 to 2023). The company state that the software will be updated in all vehicles by the end of June this year.
