US auto safety regulators said on Tuesday they have opened an investigation into 280,000 new Tesla Model 3 and Model Y vehicles over reports of loss of steering control and power steering.
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration opened a preliminary evaluation after it received 12 complaints from owners of 2023 Tesla Model 3 and Model Y vehicles.
In June a driver in Alpharetta, Georgia reported a two-week-old Tesla Model Y was coming out of a shopping centre when “suddenly the steering wheel did not steer. It was hard and saw the alert. Went to very close to opposite side of traffic and somehow made it to across the road inside the shopping centre”.This is the first step of a formal investigation to determine if the issue poses an unreasonable safety risk.
