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 (NHTSA) received scores of complaints on Tesla's electric vehicles.
- By Nov. 27, the NHTSA had received 16 reports of exterior, retractable door handles becoming inoperative due to low 12VDC battery voltage in 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 a battery issue that impeded door handle use.
A deadly 2024 crash in Wisconsin led to a lawsuit that claimed Tesla was negligent in its door handle designs.
No comment from Elon Musk or Tesla.
