Tesla is recalling 376,241 of its vehicles after reports that their electronic power steering assist could potentially fail due to a software defect.
The recall involves some 2023 Tesla Model 3s and some 2023 Tesla Model Ys, according to the recall report from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.
As explained by the recall, the affected Tesla models’ electronic power-assisted steering (EPAS) could become overstressed, causing potential loss of steering when the vehicle starts accelerating again after coming to a stop.
The vehicle manufacturer says its designs prevents loss of EPAS while the models are in motion.
Recalled models can be identified by:
- 2023 Tesla Model 3
- 2023 Tesla Model Y
- Production dates: Feb. 24, 2023-Oct. 11, 2023
- Vehicles are operating software prior to version 2023.38.4.
Tesla says no crashes or injuries have been reported.
The company says it has released a software update to address the issue.
The electric vehicle manufacturer, which is owned by billionaire Elon Musk, says all its stores and service centers have been notified about the recall and that notification letters are expected to be sent to owners on March 25.
