The Dutch road transport authority is maintaining close oversight of Tesla’s retractable door handles, subjecting them to rigorous failure-mode safety assessments rather than mandating an immediate recall. Authorities are evaluating potential risks while allowing Tesla to address concerns through testing and analysis. The decision reflects a cautious approach to balancing safety with operational continuity for affected vehicles. Details on the testing process and any findings remain under review.
European regulator RDW keeps monitoring Tesla’s retractable door handles, applying strict failure-mode safety tests instead of immediately ordering a recall.
