Tesla faces inquiry by Norway’s safety regulator over suspension failures

Tesla faces an inquiry by Norway’s traffic safety regulator into suspension failures in the company’s electric cars that could result in a recall, the agency told Reuters.

Norwegian Public Roads Administration (NPRA) senior engineer Tor-Ove Satren said the agency started questioning Tesla in September 2022 and asked the automaker to assess consumer complaints about lower rear control arms breaking on its Model S and X vehicles.

Satren said the agency could recommend that Tesla recall all model years of the S and X vehicles to replace rear lower control arms if it determines they pose a “serious risk.”
