Tesla is recalling more than 375,000 vehicles in the United States due to a power steering issues, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration announced Friday.
The automaker, co-founded and led by billionaire Elon Musk, is recalling some of its Model 3 and Model Y vehicles operating software prior to 2023, the federal agency said.
The printed circuit board for the electronic power steering assist may become overstressed, causing a loss of power steering assist when the vehicle stops and accelerates again, the agency said. The loss of power may require drivers to assert more control over the wheel, especially at lower speeds, increasing the risk of a crash, the agency added.
Tesla did not immediately return a request for comment.
