(Bloomberg) — Tesla Motors Inc. said it’s conducting a voluntary recall of 90,000 Model S cars because of single report of a front seat belt not being properly connected.

“Tesla recently found a Model S in Europe with a front seat belt that was not properly connected to the outboard lap pretensioner,” the company said in an e-mail to customers Friday. “This vehicle was not involved in a crash and there were no injuries.
