Norway's traffic safety regulator, the Norwegian Public Roads Administration (NPRA), is conducting an inquiry into suspension failures in Tesla's Model S and X vehicles, which could potentially lead to a recall. The NPRA has questioned Tesla and requested an assessment of consumer complaints regarding lower rear control arm breakages.

The NPRA's decision is expected by Christmas, and it has the authority to order a recall if Tesla refuses.

Tesla's Blame Game: Drivers Held Responsible for Known Defective Parts

Tesla has been blamed for failing to address and disclose chronic suspension and steering failures in its vehicles, according to a Reuters investigation. The report reveals that Tesla owners have experienced premature failures of suspension or steering parts for at least seven years, with the problems affecting various models across the globe. Tesla has allegedly blamed drivers for the failures and refused to cover repair costs, despite internal knowledge of the defects. The company has also been accused of dismissing safety concerns and rushing product launches. Tesla's handling of these issues reflects a pattern of dismissing customer and worker concerns across Elon Musk's corporate empire.
