Transport Canada said following a May 20, 2021, Tesla Model
Y fire in Vancouver that it had its contracted collision and defect
investigation team "locate and secure the vehicle."
The agency added it "notified Tesla of the incident and
is currently making arrangements for a joint inspection of the vehicle in an
effort to determine the cause of the fire.
The US National Highway Traffic Safety Administration told
Reuters on Thursday it "is aware of the incident and has reached out to
the manufacturer for information."
The Electrek website posted a video of the incident in which
the owner said he received an error notification and then saw smoke. The driver
said that to get out he "had to smash the window. ... I kicked through the
window because everything stops. The power didn't work. The door didn't open.
The windows didn't go down."
