WASHINGTON, Ramadan 6, 1437, Jun 11, 2016, SPA -- Tesla Motors Inc has agreed to revise its customer repair agreements to allow owners to report potential safety issues to U.S. auto safety regulators, a government spokesman said on Friday, according to Reuters. The U.S. National Highway Safety Administration (NHTSA), which on Thursday said Tesla had entered into a "troublesome nondisclosure agreement" with a Model S owner who had suspension problems, said on Friday it had confirmed "that Tesla has clarified the language ... in a satisfactory way, resolving the issue." The California-based green car maker did not immediately respond to a request for comment on Friday. NHTSA stated its concerns about the nondisclosure agreement on Thursday as it said it was reviewing reports of suspension problems, but had not opened a formal investigation. On Friday, NHTSA spokesman Bryan Thomas said Tesla was fully cooperating with the suspension review "and NHTSA's examination of the data is under way. To date, NHTSA has not identified any safety issue with Tesla's suspensions." Tesla on Thursday denied any suspension problems, saying extensive durability testing and review of customer issues "gives us high confidence in our suspensions." NHTSA Administrator Mark Rosekind said on Thursday that the agency was reviewing the automaker's use of the agreements to see if they had impeded owners from making complaints. -- SPA 01:33 LOCAL TIME 22:33 GMT www.spa.gov.sa/w
