No crashes or injuries have been recorded in association with these reported failures, says the NHTSA, with incidents generally resulting in an immobile car and a ride to the garage on the back of a tow truck. Some owners who experienced the failures reported very little warning before the car’s suspension let go; a few spoke of errant noises like creaks or groans, but others allege no indication was given that an important part was about to give up the ghost.

It is important to note this evaluation is just the first of many steps that have to be taken before an actual recall is announced. Prior to that happening, other actions – such as an engineering analysis – need to be carried out and then studied. Still, this movement by the ODI shows that this reported issue is on the NHTSA radar, and different from previous attention paid to Tesla suspensions by regulators.

If you have one of these vehicles and are concerned, it might be prescient to get the car checked by a trusted mechanic; after all, physical suspension problems can’t be fixed by a software update.
