SAVANNAH, Ga. (WSAV) -- Tesla is recalling more than 375,000 vehicles in the United States due to power steering issues.
According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, 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 agency said the printed circuit board for the electronic power steering assist may become overstressed. This can cause a loss of power steering assist when the vehicle stops and accelerates again. Tesla has released an over-the-air software update free of charge.
Owners of the recalled vehicles will also receive a letter in the mail with more information in the coming weeks.
