2021–2023 Tesla Model S, Tesla Model X: Seat Belts recall
NHTSA campaign 23V488000 · 16K units potentially affected · filed Jul 14, 2023
What's wrong
Tesla, Inc. (Tesla) is recalling certain 2021-2023 Model S and Model X vehicles. The front-row seat belts may not be connected properly to the pretensioner anchors, which can cause the seat belts to detach.
Why it matters
A detached seat belt may not properly restrain an occupant during a crash, increasing the risk of injury.
The fix
Tesla Service will inspect the front-row seat belts and connect the seat belts to pretensioner anchors, or replace the seat belt assemblies, as necessary, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed September 12, 2023. Owners may contact Tesla customer service at 1-877-798-3752. Tesla's number for this recall is SB-23-20-004.
