(Reuters) -Tesla is recalling 125,227 vehicles in the U.S. due to a malfunction in its seat belt warning system, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration said on Friday.

The regulator said the vehicles failed to comply with the federal safety requirements, as their seat belt warning light and audible chime may not get activated as intended when the driver is unbelted.
