Got a front passenger safety restraint system fault issue that Tesla wants me to pay for repair.
My car is experiencing a passenger seat safety restraint error, which is a safety issue.
An error 'Front passenger safety restraint system fault' came up that seems to be a very common issue with someone people paying $1500 to nothing to fix.
I have had an Alert notification, and reading through online, it seems there might be a consistent issue. Alert Notification: RCM_a056 Front passenger safety restraint system fault
Many Tesla owners have received notifications about a "Front Passenger Safety Restraint System Fault". It seems that there might be a defect with the car, given the number of people impacted and the severity of not having proper safety restraint. I am very careful with my car, and it has not been involved in any accidents, so I think Tesla should do a recall to make sure all Front Passenger Safety Restraint System is functional
After receiving fault RCM_a094 I discovered that the seatbelt wiring harness had detached. When I took the vehicle in for repair, I was told it was caused by the wire being "tugged" on. Since I have never used the seatbelt in any capacity other than how it was intended, I believe this is a design flaw with the restraint system.
In March 2023, my vehicle was in a major front end collision on the passenger side and the airbag did not deploy. In January 2024, a warning light appeared on my car’s screen that reads “Safety Restraint System Fault” I then took the vehicle to a Tesla service center who determined that the front passenger airbag and OCS needed to be replaced to maintain compatibility….
seems like a common issue that keeps coming back again after repairs. this is my first seat belt error message so I will take my car in for warranty work and hopefully it is covered.
