Swedish regulator investigates Tesla suspension failure

Sweden’s Transport Agency is investigating suspension failures in Tesla cars in a probe similar to that of neighbouring Norway’s traffic safety regulator.

“We can … confirm that investigative work is also underway with us,” the Swedish agency said in an emailed statement to Reuters.

A spokesperson for the Swedish regulator declined to comment on details of the probe as it was still ongoing.

The Norwegian Public Roads Administration on Thursday said it 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.

The Norwegian agency could recommend that Tesla recall the vehicles to replace the parts if it determines they pose a “serious risk.” However, it could also close the review if there is no safety issue or decide to extend the investigation.
