US regulators launch Tesla probe after incidents of children getting trapped in cars due to malfunctioning electric door handles. Reports indicate that car owners had to break windows to free the children. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is investigating the 2021 Model Y model after receiving nine complaints. The probe focuses on electric locks not working due to insufficient voltage, leading to potential safety risks for occupants, especially children, in emergency situations.
