US Evaluating over 174,000 Tesla Model Y Cars for Door Handle Failure Reports

Reuters09-16

(Reuters) - The U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration said on Tuesday it had opened a preliminary evaluation into about 174,290 Tesla TSLA.O Model Y cars over reports of their electronic door handles becoming inoperative.

The auto safety agency's Office of Defects Investigation said it had received reports citing an inability to open exterior doors, especially after parents exited to remove or place a child in the rear seat, or after a drive cycle.

Tesla did not immediately respond to a Reuters request for comment.

    Ban the faulty Tesla cars. There are reports of at least one person dying in his Tesla (via fire) as the rescuers couldn't open the doors due to malfunctioning!
