NHTSA Investigates Suspension Failures in Over 1.2 Million Tesla Vehicles
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) has launched a preliminary investigation into nearly 1.2 million Tesla vehicles due to reports of suspension failures that could lead to loss of vehicle control. The affected models include the 2018–2020 Model 3 and 2021–2023 Model Y, with complaints involving detachment of front lower lateral links. According to NHTSA records, there have been no reported crashes or injuries linked to this issue. This is not Tesla’s first suspension-related recall; in 2021, the company recalled over 2,791 vehicles for similar concerns. The current investigation appears unrelated to those prior issues but highlights ongoing scrutiny of vehicle safety systems at one of the largest EV manufacturers globally.
