•  U.S. auto safety regulators have opened an investigation into Tesla’s Model Y SUV after getting two complaints that the steering wheels can come off while being driven.
• The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration says the probe covers an estimated 120,000 vehicles from the 2023 model year.
• The agency says in both cases the Model Ys were delivered to customers with a missing bolt that holds the wheel to the steering column. A friction fit held the steering wheels on, but they separated when force was exerted while the SUVs were being driven.
• The agency says in documents posted on its website Wednesday that both incidents happened while the SUVs had low mileage on them.
