“Both vehicles were turned over to their owners with poorly connected anchor linkages,” NHTSA said. Nearly 50,000 Model X vehicles could be affected, according to NHTSA.

The defective part is the connection between the seat belt pretensioner and the anchor. According to the agency, when force was applied, “the linkage and pretensioner abruptly separated.”

According to NHTSA, no injuries were reported in connection with the two defect claims, and the removal of the seatbelt component occurred “at low mileage,” NHTSA said. Tesla has not yet responded to the investigation.

The electric car company is also facing a preliminary investigation by NHTSA into 120,000 Model Y cars (model year 2023), with reports surfacing of steering wheels dangerously falling off while driving.

Tesla also issued a voluntary recall of its electric semi-trucks just months after its release, citing rollaway risks related to possible emergency brake failures. Last year, Tesla recalled more than 321,000 vehicles due to software glitches. The recall targets specific his 2023 Model 3 vehicles and his 2023 Model Y vehicles from 2020.
