Tesla has announced that its 2013 Model S was cleared of a safety defect after a review by Germany's transportation regulator on Dec. 2.
"No manufacturer-related defects could be found," Tesla said according to Edmunds. "Therefore, no further measures under the German Product Safety Act are deemed necessary."
Recently Tesla received an "inquiry" from the German Federal Motor Transport Authority about the Model S fire incidents, which took place in Tennessee, Seattle and Mexico.
The Model S is also sold in Germany, and the three fires supposedly got thecountry worried.
Company CEO Elon Musk tweeted about the news in Germany shortly after the automaker made its formal announcement.

The Model S is still under investigation for a possible U.S. recall by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration however.
The NHTSA opened a "preliminary evaluation" into approximately 13,108 2013 Model S sedans back on November 15. A preliminary evaluation occasionally leads to a recall, but it doesn't always happen.
U.S. regulators are investigating the vehicles over "deformation/intrusion into the propulsion battery by roadway debris may result in a thermal reaction and fire," according to the NHTSA.
Results for the U.S. investigation are still pending as of press time.
