Tesla, the electric car maker, last week took a proactive step by recalling 90,000 vehicles of the Model S after finding a Model S in Europe with a faulty front seatbelt.
Describing the problem with seatbelts, Tesla said in an official statement that “a bolt that connects the outboard lap pretensioner, which pulls the seatbelt tight in the event of an accident, wasn’t assembled properly.”
In an email sent to Model S owners, the company said that was taking the step to ensure safety, it said, “In the event of a crash, a seatbelt in this condition would not provide full protection. First and foremost, we care about your safety. First and foremost, we care about your safety.”
Tesla also said that they have inspected the seat belts in more than 3,000 vehicles spanning the entire range of Model S production and found no issues, but decided to conduct a voluntary recall as a “proactive and precautionary” measure to inspect all front Model S seat belts. It added that there were no concerns regarding seat belts in the rear of Model S.
The step clearly shows that any issue big or small is dealt with properly and the company highly values its customers and will leave no stone unturned to ensure their safety.
“We expect the vast majority of seat belts to be fine, but out of an abundance of caution, we want to take a look,” a Tesla spokesman told reporters. “This is above and beyond what is traditional in the industry, but everyone from Elon Musk (Tesla CEO) on down agrees that the fact this appeared on even a single vehicle is unacceptable to Tesla.”
