# US probing delays in Tesla crash reports involving driver assistance systems

> The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) is investigating Tesla for delays in reporting crashes involving its advanced driver assistance systems. The agency found that Tesla submitted incident reports for crashes that occurred months prior, despite a requirement to report within one to five days of notification. NHTSA's audit will assess the reasons for these delays and any measures Tesla has implemented to address the issue.

Aug 21 (Reuters) - The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration said Thursday it is opening an investigation into delays in Tesla reports of crashes involving advanced driver assistance systems or self-driving vehicles.

The auto safety agency said it has identified numerous incident reports submitted by Tesla in which reported crashes occurred several months or more before the dates of the reports, while the agency required a report to be submitted within one or five days of Tesla receiving notice of the crash. NHTSA said it is opening an audit query “to evaluate the cause of the potential delays in reporting, the scope of any such delays, and the mitigations that Tesla has developed to address them.”
