The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration will probe an estimated 50,000 vehicles.
Tesla is under investigation by U.S. auto safety regulators over complaints seat belts are not fully attached to new Model X vehicles and may not hold people in a crash, according to a filing Tuesday, adding to other probes into other Tesla vehicles, including investigations into the automaker’s steering wheels and its self-driving software.
Both vehicles were delivered without sufficiently connected anchor linkages, causing a “connection failure” with the seat belt’s anchor pretensioner—which tightens the seat belt during a collision—and the seat belt becoming detached, according to the agency.
