South Korea said it is investigating suspected safety issues with vehicles made by U.S. automaker Tesla Inc , which is competing strongly with Hyundai Motor Co in the South Korean electric vehicle market.
Braking and steering systems including the Autopilot function were part of the investigation, a transport ministry official said on Wednesday.
The ministry declined to elaborate but South Korean media said Tesla’s Model 3 was under investigation, and the probe might take anywhere from six months to a year.The U.S. National Transportation Safety Board last year cited driver errors and Tesla’s Autopilot design as the probable cause of a January 2018 crash of a Model S in California.
In Hyundai’s home market, Tesla had its best month in June, with its Model 3 beating Hyundai’s Kona EV, as well as premium models from BMW and Audi.
