May 20 (Reuters) - The U.S. auto safety regulator has

closed a probe into more than 100,000 Tesla Model X

vehicles after the automaker issued a recall to fix front seat

belt failures, the National Highway Traffic Safety

Administration said on Monday.

The regulator said it was closing the investigation in

view of the recalls and updates launched by Tesla, adding that

it may take additional action in the future, if needed.

Tesla filed a safety recall of some vehicles in July 2023

and had last June updated procedures requiring a first-row seat

belt to be disconnected from and reconnected to its pretensioner

anchor, the NHTSA said.

The NHTSA had said in March 2023 it is opening a probe

into 50,000 Tesla Model X vehicles after receiving two

complaints reporting front seat belt failures in March.
