The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration closed its investigation into suspension deficiencies in thousands of Tesla electric vehicles.
The agency announced the decision Wednesday, closing a four-year investigation into 75,000 Tesla vehicles. The probe focused on the front suspension fore links in Tesla Models X and S made from 2015-17.
NHTSA officials said the investigation found no major injuries resulting from damaged or faulty suspension links.
“One minor crash with no injuries is associated with the 426 instances of fore link failures. A majority of the failures occurred between 1 to 15 mph while parking in driveways or parking lots,” NHTSA said in a statement.
Still, the agency urged Tesla to issue a safety bulletin for all vehicles involved in the investigation.
The agency opened the investigation in 2020 after receiving numerous complaints from customers about the front suspension on some Tesla vehicles. If a car’s fore link suspension is faulty, it could lead to other major issues, including uneven tire wear, steering issues and misalignment.
