Tesla Recalls 376,000 Model 3 and Model Y Vehicles Over Power Steering Issue

The recall addresses a potential loss of power steering assist at low speeds, with 99% of U.S. vehicles already updated via a software fix.

Tesla has recalled 376,000 Model 3 and Model Y vehicles from 2023 due to a potential power steering issue that could arise when the car stops and then accelerates again.
The issue stems from an overstress condition in the electronic power-assisted steering (EPAS) circuit board, which could result in a loss of power steering assist at low speeds.
Tesla deployed an over-the-air software update in October 2023 to address the problem, and 99% of affected U.S. vehicles have already received the update as of January 23, 2025.
The recall decision was prompted by a regulatory investigation in a non-U.S. market, leading Tesla to expand the action globally to avoid customer confusion.
No crashes, injuries, or fatalities have been reported in connection with this issue, and owners will receive official recall notifications by mail next month.
