The United States has concluded its investigation into Tesla Model X and Model S vehicles due to the loss of the rear-view camera. The probe, known as TESLA-PROBE:US, was initiated to address concerns regarding the safety implications of the malfunctioning rear-view camera in these popular electric vehicles.
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) launched the investigation after receiving complaints from Tesla owners about the sudden loss of the rear-view camera display. The agency sought to determine whether this issue posed a significant safety risk to drivers and passengers.
Following a thorough examination of the vehicles and the reported incidents, the NHTSA has decided to close the probe without requiring any further action from Tesla. The agency did not find evidence to suggest that the loss of the rear-view camera in the Model X and Model S vehicles posed an unreasonable safety risk.
Tesla has been cooperative throughout the investigation, providing the necessary information and data to assist the NHTSA in its assessment. The electric car manufacturer has also taken steps to address the concerns raised by customers experiencing issues with the rear-view camera.
While the probe has now been closed, the NHTSA will continue to monitor the situation and investigate any future complaints related to the rear-view camera systems in Tesla vehicles. The agency remains committed to ensuring the safety of all road users and will take appropriate action if any safety concerns arise in the future.
Tesla Model X and Model S owners can rest assured that the NHTSA has thoroughly examined the issue and found no immediate cause for alarm. The electric vehicle manufacturer will likely continue to enhance the safety features of its vehicles to provide a secure driving experience for all customers.
