Tesla Recalls Over 375,000 Vehicles Due to Power Steering Issue

The recall affects 2023 Model 3 and Model Y vehicles, with a software update addressing the problem of overstressed circuit boards.

Tesla is recalling 376,241 Model 3 and Model Y vehicles manufactured between February 28, 2023, and October 11, 2023, due to power-assisted steering failures.
The issue involves overstressed printed circuit boards in the electronic power steering system, potentially causing a loss of power steering assist during stops and starts.
Tesla has already deployed an over-the-air software update to fix the problem, with 99% of affected vehicles reportedly updated as of January 2025.
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) continues to investigate the issue, which has been linked to one crash and several instances of vehicles being towed.
Tesla will notify affected owners via mail starting March 25, 2025, but no crashes, injuries, or fatalities related to this recall have been reported by the company.
