According to the German newspaper Bild am Sonntag, the German authorities have been in contact with NHTSA and the KBA has launched its own investigation.
Why It Matters: The U.S. auto safety agency tentatively concluded the 2012-2018 Model S and 2016-2018 Model X vehicles contain a defect related to motor vehicle safety. The recall of 158,716 vehicles represents around 10% of the company’s total vehicles produced through the end of 2020.
