The U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration announced on April 28, 2026 that it had closed a preliminary evaluation of a safety investigation involving 120,089 Tesla Model Y vehicles. The probe focused on a steering‑wheel detachment issue caused by a missing retaining bolt. The agency’s decision to close the investigation without requiring any manufacturer action or recall indicates that no safety risk was identified that would necessitate a corrective measure. Tesla was not required to issue a recall or pay any penalties related to the issue. The closure means Tesla will not face immediate regulatory penalties or recall costs, but NHTSA will continue to monitor the situation and may revisit the matter if new information emerges.
