Tesla announces another big recall, a month after thousands of Cybertrucks were recalled.

Now, Elon Musk's company is recalling 125,227 vehicles because of a faulty seat belt warning that, according to Reuters, could increase the risk of injury when it comes to collusions.

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration said that the vehicles failed to comply with federal safety requirements, because the warnings may not get activated when a driver is unbealted in the vehicles.

The vehicles affected are 2012-2024 Model S, 2015-2024 Model X, 2017-2023 Model 3 and 2020-2023 Model Y. Tesla will change the sensor, starting an over-the-air update in June.

Back in January, Tesla also recalled 200,000 Model X, X, and Y vehicles due to a camera bug but released a free software update to fix the issue.
