STOCKHOLM, Jan 25 (Reuters) - Norway's traffic safety regulator said on Thursday it had found no basis for ordering a recall of Tesla's car models S and X following an investigation into a suspension safety issue.

The Norwegian regulatory review was prompted by over a dozen customer reports to the agency in 2022 about suspension parts such as the rear lower control arm suddenly breaking.

"The Norwegian Public Roads Administration believes that a break in the rear lower control arm does not constitute an unacceptable risk, and that there is no basis for demanding a recall of the vehicles," the regulator said in a statement.

It will, however, "follow the situation closely going forward", it added.

In order for the traffic safety watchdog to take action, the defect would have needed to pose a significant safety risk. (Reporting by Marie Mannes, writing by Stine Jacobsen, editing by Terje Solsvik)
