The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has opened an investigation into the steering wheel of the Tesla 2023 Model Y.
The federal agency, part of the Department of Transportation, had been made aware of two reports from Tesla drivers of steering wheels falling off the column while the car was being driven.
While one complaint was made directly to Tesla, the other was made to NHTSA.
In the latter complaint, Prerak Patel said the wheel fell off on Jan. 29, just five days after the vehicle was purchased.
