More car recalls: Over 807,000 cars from Hyundai, Kia, Mercedes-Benz and GM under recall NHSTA's investigation into the alleged Tesla seat belt detachment comes just weeks after the agency opened another probe into 2023 Model Y vehicles, following two complaints that the SUV’s steering wheels could come off while people were driving. NHTSA is investigating additional complaints into Teslas dating back several years – including probes into reports of partially automated driving systems that can brake without reason or run into emergency vehicles parked on highways. NHSTA investigations can lead to car recalls. As of Tuesday, officials had not initiated a recall for 2022 and 2023 Model X SUVs over the seat belt detachment reports. Still, other Tesla drivers have been facing recalls in recent months – including a November recall of 2021-2023 Tesla Model X cars over the potential of the front passenger airbag system deploying incorrectly during some collisions, requiring a software update to solve the risk. Earlier this month, Tesla initiated a recall of 2022-2023 Model Y vehicles in the U.S. because bolts in the second-row seats may be loose. Owners of the recalled vehicles were instructed to take their car to a Tesla service center, to inspect and tighten the bolts.
