Tesla Inc., led by billionaire entrepreneur Elon Musk, has announced the recall of over 375,000 vehicles due to a power steering issue that could pose safety risks to drivers.
According to a statement from the company, the affected vehicles may experience intermittent power steering loss, which could increase the risk of accidents, particularly at low speeds. The recall affects several Tesla models, though the company has yet to specify the exact production years impacted.
The U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) has been monitoring the situation, with officials urging Tesla owners to check for recall notifications and schedule necessary repairs. Tesla has assured customers that it will address the issue through software updates or, where necessary, mechanical fixes at no cost to vehicle owners.
This recall marks one of the largest safety-related actions by Tesla in recent years, adding to previous concerns about the company’s vehicle software and autopilot systems. Despite the setback, Tesla remains a dominant force in the electric vehicle industry, with strong sales and continued advancements in autonomous driving technology.
