Tesla has been examined for potential defective door handles

The National Traffic Safety Administration opened on highways investigation In allegations that Bab Tesla handles become unimportant to work in certain situations on Model Y SUVS.

The ODI Safety Agency’s investigation office revealed the investigation on Tuesday, after receiving nine reports from owners who were unable to enter their cars. Odi writes that the most common scenario includes parents who get out of their car and cannot open the rear doors to remove their children.

In four of these cases, according to the ODI report, the owners had to break a window “to restore access to the car”.

The investigation news comes a few days after the publication of Bloomberg An investigation into a series of accidents Where the owners of Tesla (and the passengers) became stuck inside their cars after a crash.

According to an initial review by ODI, Tesla handles can become unimportant if the electronic doors are not paid enough effort from the car battery system. But ODI also indicates in its initial report that none of the owners who linked this problem to the agency mentioned a vision of low -voltage battery warnings.

Tesla compounds have manual doors, although they are only inside the car. It can be difficult for children to reach children, and some owners do not realize that they exist, according to ODI.

It is possible to restore energy to the locks of electronic doors, according to the evidence of Tesla owners, but it is a multi -step process that requires an external energy source.
