Tesla is under investigation by the US Securities and Exchange Commission over claims that it did not adequately inform shareholders and the public about the potential for its solar panels to catch fire, Reuters reported Monday. The investigation is the result of a 2019 whistleblower complaint by Steven Henkes, a former Tesla field quality manager who alleged that the company withheld information about its solar panels’ safety and fire risks. Henkes is also suing Tesla, alleging that it fired him in retaliation for sounding the alarm over safety concerns.
