Tesla Inquiry Grows Over Door Handle Issue
Federal regulators have ordered Tesla to comply with an investigation into possibly defective door handles that reportedly led to trapped passengers.
- The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration received scores of complaints on Tesla's electric vehicles.
- 16 reports of exterior, retractable door handles becoming inoperative due to low battery voltage were received, affecting certain 2021 Tesla Model Y vehicles.
Reports indicated that children were trapped in the cars in some cases, and owners were unable to enter or exit vehicles due to battery issues that impeded door handle use.
A deadly 2024 crash in Wisconsin led to a lawsuit claiming Tesla was negligent in its door handle designs.
No comment from Tesla or Elon Musk was provided.
