Two US senators want Tesla CEO to recall its EVs citing a report

Two U.S. senators want Tesla CEO, Elon Musk to recall its faulty electric vehicles (EVs) with faults in autosteering and suspension citing an investigation report from Reuters.

A report claims that Tesla is blaming drivers for the frequent failure of inbuilt components with acknowledgment of the problem.

“We write with extreme concern following recent reporting about Tesla’s knowledge of safety flaws in its vehicles and concealment of the causes of these flaws from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration” a letter from Senators Richard Blumenthal of Connecticut and Edward J. Markey of Massachusetts.

The senators called on Musk to correct “apparent false and misleading representations” made to the safety agency.

A past report from Reuters mentioned that Tesla told NHTSA and customers that the frequent failures of defective parts in its EVs were caused by driver “abuse” such as hitting a curb.

“We are disturbed that you would blame your customers for these failures,” stated the letter from Blumenthal and Markey, both Democrats. “It is unacceptable that Tesla would not only attempt to shift the responsibility for the substandard quality of its vehicles to the people purchasing them but also make that same flawed argument to NHTSA.”

More information on this matter is yet to come.
