2018 TESLA MODEL 3Transport Canada Recall #2024298
The official notice
Defect
On certain vehicles, the seat belt reminder chime and visual warning may not work when you start the vehicle and your seat belt is not buckled. Canadian regulations require both a seat belt reminder sound and visual telltale when a driver is not wearing their seat belt.
Safety Risk
A seat belt warning that doesn't work correctly may not remind you to buckle your seat belt. Not wearing your seat belt can increase the risk of injury in a crash.
Remedy
Tesla will notify owners by email and supply an over-the-air software update to activate the seat belt reminder chime and visual warning.
