The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration announced it is investigating nearly 2.6 million Tesla vehicles over a remote driving feature.

The “Actually Smart Summon” feature enables drivers to remotely summon or move their vehicles to them or another location via a mobile phone app.

The agency has previously looked into other iterations of Tesla's Summon self-driving option.

NHTSA will investigate Tesla's Actually Smart Summon feature after receiving multiple reports of crashes. Here's what's going on.

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is probing about 2.6 million Teslas after regulators discovered that a feature on multiple vehicle models was tied to crashes. The feature, known as "Actually Smart Summon" is intended to have the car park itself and pick up its owner using a button on the Tesla app.

The agency has previously investigated earlier versions of Smart Summon, which is meant to let a Tesla vehicle park itself or fetch a driver via remote app command.

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) is investigating 2.6 million Tesla vehicles due to reports of accidents related to the Smart Summon and Actually Smart Summon features.
