U.S. regulators have opened an investigation into Tesla Inc.'s
Model Y SUV over two complaints that said the car's steering wheel
had detached.
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration said the
probe affects more than an estimated 120,000 model-year 2023
vehicles.
The NHTSA said in both complaints it received, the Model Y
vehicles were delivered to the owners without the retaining bolt,
which attaches the steering wheel to the steering column. The
agency said both incidents happened at low vehicle mileage.
The NHTSA said it has opened a preliminary evaluation to assess
the scope, frequency and manufacturing processes associated with
the condition.
Shares of Tesla fell about 1.6% to $184.76 in the premarket
session.
