Tesla is recalling approximately 2,000 model-year 2019-21 Model Y crossovers due to seat belt issues. One or both fasteners securing the left and right second-row seat belt retractors may not be properly attached and could prevent the seat belts from performing as designed, increasing the risk of injury in the event of a crash.
Tesla has not provided an owner notification schedule. Owners can call the automaker at 877-798-3752 or the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration’s vehicle safety hotline at 888-327-4236 to learn more.
To resolve the issue, Tesla will inspect the seat belts and make any necessary repairs.
Vehicle manufacturers are legally required to repair any recalled issues or replace the defective part for free under the Highway Safety Act of 1970. If the dealership refuses to fix the problem or attempts to charge you for the repair, contact the manufacturer immediately.
