Tesla is recalling more than 375,000 vehicles due to a power
steering issue.
The recall is for certain 2023 Model 3 and Model Y vehicles
operating software prior to 2023.38.4, according to the National
Highway Traffic Safety Administration.
The printed circuit board for the electronic power steering
assist may become overstressed, causing a loss of power steering
assist when the vehicle reaches a stop and then accelerates
again, the agency said.
The loss of power could required more effort to control the car
by drivers, particularly at low speeds, increasing the risk of a
crash.
Tesla isn't aware of any crashes, injuries, or deaths related to
the condition.
The electric vehicle maker headed by Elon Musk has released a
free software update to address the issue.
Letters are expected to be sent to vehicle owners on March 25.
Owners may contact Tesla customer service at 1-877-798-3752 or
the NHTSA at 1-888-327-4236.
