Tesla Motors Inc. claimed it’s performing its largest-ever recall of all 90,000 Model S vehicles as a result of a malfunction in their seat belts. The malfunction was initially found a Model S in Europe with a seat belt that was not properly attached to the outboard.
This is the Largest Recall for the Model S Yet
There are no accidents or injuries associated with the malfunctioning cars, but in the occasion of a collision, a seat belt that is malfunctioning would certainly not supply full protection, putting drivers and passengers at risk. Tesla began supplying the Model S to customers in June 2012. All versions of the P85D are affected by the voluntary recall. Tesla shares dropped 2.3 percent to $216.66.
No Other Issues on the Model S
The Palo Alto, California-based firm stated it has actually found no other issues. Tesla is asking owners to bring their cars in to check for any additional issues. By putting these cars through an evaluation, Tesla may better assess any damages to the Model S note yet documented.
A True Show of Tesla’s Flashiness
Tesla is well known for being masterful at marketing and selling their products as the best on the market, but this recall shows that even with a perfect marketing strategy, the product itself isn’t perfect. The reaction was quick, and it’ll surely cost Tesla, but hopefully all issues will be resolved in time so that their shares even out.
