NHTSA opens probe into Tesla over alleged steering fault.
into the Tesla products following 12 owner reports of power steering loss, resulting in a reduced ability to control the vehicle. All of these reports have involved vehicles from the 2023 model year. Five of the reports state that the owners were completely unable to steer their vehicle once the fault took place, while seven others required a significant increase in steering effort.
One of the complaints involving a Tesla Model Y suggests there might be a known issue with the vehicle's steering rack. The owner in question allegedly had their steering wheel jerk to the right with a loud thud while in a parking lot, which was accompanied by a “power steering disabled” message on the infotainment screen. The car apparently became difficult to steer, with a power cycle of the vehicle unable to remedy the situation.
