Tesla Recalls over 376K Vehicles


Tesla is recalling over 376,000 of its Model 3 and Model Y electric vehicles in the U.S. in response to concerns they could experience a loss of power steering assistance.

The recalled Model 3s and Model Ys could face a loss of power steering assistance "when the vehicle reaches a stop and then accelerates again" if they experience an "overstress condition" in the printed circuit board for electronic power-assisted steering (EPAS), Tesla said in a recall report submitted last week to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA). "Tesla’s design avoids any unreasonable risk to safety by preventing a loss of EPAS while the vehicle is in motion," the automaker said on its website. The automaker started deploying a free over-the-air software fix to address the issue that could cause the "overstress condition" in the printed circuit board in October 2023.
