According to the agency, when the car stops and then accelerates again, the printed circuit board for the electronic power steering help may get overstressed and lose its ability to provide power steering assistance.
Drivers may need to exert more effort to manage the vehicle when there is a power outage, especially when traveling at slow speeds, which could raise the chance of an accident.
As far as Tesla is aware, the problem has not been linked to any collisions, injuries, or fatalities.
