Federal auto safety regulators have opened an investigation into reports that the doors of a popular Tesla model could in some cases not be opened from the outside, trapping children inside the vehicle.

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration said its preliminary investigation, which it opened Monday, is based on nine reports from owners of 2021 Model Y SUVs. The most common complaint was from people who said they were unable to retrieve children from back seats. In four cases, adults had to break windows to free the children, the safety agency said in a document posted on its website.

Tesla did not immediately respond to a request for comment Tuesday. Elon Musk, the company’s CEO, has often said that the company’s vehicles are the safest on the road.
