The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) is probing nearly 1.2 million Tesla vehicles after receiving complaints about a suspension failure that could cause “a loss of vehicle directional control,” asreported earlier byReuters. The preliminary investigation includes the 2018-2020 Model 3 and 2021-2023 Model Y, according toa filingfrom the NHTSA’s Office of Defects Investigation.
The NHTSA says it received 156 complaints about the issue, which “involves the detachment of the front lower lateral link.” In most cases reviewed by the NHTSA, failure occurred with “no advance warning,” but some “cite noises occurring prior to failure.” The NHTSA hasn’t recorded any crashes, injuries, or fatalities related to the potential issue.
