The investigation covers vehicles outside the existing recall that already has affected 67 million vehicles. September 20, 2021: The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration kicks off an engineering investigation into 30 million vehicles built by more than 20 car manufacturers between 20, among them Ford, General Motors, Honda, Stellantis (the parent company of Chrysler, Dodge, Fiat, Jeep, Ram, and others), and Toyota. Worldwide, NHTSA reports that there have been at least 27 deaths. To date, there have been 19 deaths and more than 400 injuries because this problem in the U.S. As postulated early on, environmental moisture, high temperatures, and age as associated with the defect that can improperly inflate the airbags and even send shrapnel into the occupant. NHTSA has determined the root cause of the problem: airbags that use ammonium-nitrate-based propellant without a chemical drying agent. If the inflator housing ruptures in a crash, metal shards from the airbag can be sprayed throughout the passenger cabin-a potentially disastrous outcome from a supposedly lifesaving device. Some of those airbags could deploy explosively, injuring or even killing car occupants.Īt the heart of the problem is the airbag’s inflator, a metal cartridge loaded with propellant wafers, which in some cases has ignited with explosive force. history.” The airbags, made by major parts supplier Takata, were installed in cars mostly from model years 2002 through 2015.

The agency also wants Tesla to explain how it prevents use of the system outside areas where it is intended.Īmong the detailed questions, NHTSA also asked Tesla to explain "testing and validation required prior to the release of the subject system or an in-field update to the subject system, including hardware and software components of such systems." NHTSA is seeking information on the "date and mileage at which the 'Full Self Driving' (FSD) option was enabled" for all vehicles, along with all consumer complaints, field reports, crash reports and lawsuits. Tesla in July introduced an option for some customers to subscribe to its advanced driver assistance software, dubbed "Full Self-Driving capability." Tesla said the current features "do not make the vehicle autonomous." NHTSA said previously that most of the 11 incidents occurred after dark. NHTSA's request for information asks Tesla to detail how it detects and responds to emergency vehicles, as well as flashing lights, road flares, cones and barrels and to detail the impact of low light conditions. A December 2019 crash of a Tesla Model 3 left a passenger dead after the vehicle collided with a parked fire truck in Indiana. NHTSA said earlier it had reports of 17 injuries and one death in the 11 crashes. According to a police report released on Wednesday, the trooper "narrowly missed being struck as he was outside of his patrol car." On Saturday, the Florida Highway Patrol said the car of a Florida trooper who had stopped to assist a disabled motorist on a major highway was struck by a Tesla that the driver said was in Autopilot mode. Tesla shares closed down 0.2% at $734.09 on Wednesday. The company could face civil penalties of up to $115 million if it fails to fully respond to the questions, NHTSA said. Tesla did not respond to a request seeking comment. Tesla says Autopilot enables vehicles to steer, accelerate and brake automatically within their lane.
