Tesla has announced a recall of over 376,000 vehicles due to a power steering issue. Find out if you need to be concerned.
Tesla is recalling over 376,000 of its vehicles due to a power steering issue. Power steering makes your car easy to maneuver. You probably don’t think about it on a daily basis. However, you’d notice immediately if it ever stopped working because you’d feel a ton of resistance when you try to turn your wheel. It’s bad enough when this issue arises at home in your garage, but it’s worse when the power steering goes out in the middle of a drive. If you own a Tesla, take extra precautions until you know for sure that yours isn’t on the recall list.
Why Are Certain Teslas Being Recalled?
According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration brief, certain Tesla vehicles have a power steering issue. In the impacted vehicles, “the printed circuit board for the electronic power steering assist may experience an overstress condition.” If this happens, it can cause “a loss of power steering assist when the vehicle reaches a stop and then accelerates again.”
