The US National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) said on Monday it closed a probe into nearly 2.6 \u200cmillion Tesla vehicles over a feature allowing users to move cars remotely after finding \u200cit was linked only to low-speed incidents.<\/p>\n

The agency opened the probe into the “Actually Smart Summon” feature in early 2025 \u200bafter reports of several crashes. The system allows users to move vehicles over short distances in parking areas or on private property, using a smartphone app.<\/p>\n

The agency concluded that the feature was linked primarily to low-speed incidents resulting in minor property damage and said it had reports of about \u200c100 crashes but no injuries \u2060or fatalities.<\/p>\n

Tesla did not immediately respond to a request for comment.<\/p>\n

Most reported incidents involved vehicles striking obstacles such as parked cars, garage doors or \u2060gates, often early in a Summon session when visibility or situational awareness was limited, NHTSA found.<\/p>\n

No incidents were reported that involved a major crash, air bag deployment or a vehicle being towed away, \u200bit \u200bsaid.<\/p>\n

The agency said the low frequency and severity of \u200bthe incidents did not warrant further \u200caction.<\/p>\n

Tesla addressed issues through a series of software updates aimed at improving obstacle detection, camera blockage identification and vehicle response to dynamic objects such as gates, the regulator said.<\/p>\n

The updates also sought to reduce errors caused by environmental factors such as snow or condensation affecting cameras.<\/p>\n

NHTSA last month separately upgraded a probe into Tesla’s Full Self-Driving system to an “engineering analysis,” a more \u200cadvanced stage that typically precedes a potential recall and \u200bexpanded the review to about 3.2 million vehicles.<\/p>\n

Tesla’s driver-assistance \u200band self-driving features remain under regulatory scrutiny \u200bover concerns about crashes, visibility limitations and whether the systems adequately warn \u200cdrivers in real-world conditions.<\/p>\n

In October 2025, NHTSA opened \u200ban investigation into 2.9 \u200bmillion vehicles equipped with its Full Self-Driving system over more than 50 reports of traffic-safety violations and a series of crashes.<\/p>\n

The auto safety agency said FSD has “induced vehicle behavior \u200bthat violated traffic safety laws.” \u200cNHTSA and Tesla have had a series of meetings over the issue in \u200brecent months.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
