Tesla Issues TWO Separate Recalls Over Seatbelt Chime Alert, ‘Rolling Stop’ Feature

Tesla (NASDAQ: TSLA) is in the hot seat once again, this time adding two more recalls to the ever-surmounting list of recalls that have accumulated over the past year.

On Thursday, Tesla’s archenemy the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration announced that the EV maker is recalling 817,143 vehicles over a seat belt chime that could fail to activate when the safety restraint is not fastened. According to the safety agency, the malfunction may cause “drivers to not be aware that they are unbuckled.” The filing states that the recall affects Model S cars built in 2021-2022, Model Xs manufactured between 2017 and 2022, as well as 2020-2022 Model Ys.

Aside from that, Tesla is also recalling all 53,822 vehicles equipped with “full self-driving” after a specific feature may cause the car to sometimes roll through an intersection rather than come to a full stop. Following several meetings with the NHTSA last month, the automaker agreed to disable the “Rolling stops” function via a software update for the specific Model S, X, 3, and Ys vehicles affected.

However, the feature is not actually a malfunction; the FSD Beta allowed the vehicle to roll through stop signs since its release in October 2020, but only become engaged during times of adequate visibility and lack of nearby vehicles, bicycles, and pedestrians. Tesla stated that there have not been any incidents related to the Rollings stops function, but according to the NHTSA, the vehicles’ failure to fully stop at an intersection could pose a safety risk.
