Tesla has arisen a new problem that would worry the owners. Compared to the joint statement of National Highway Traffic Security Management (NHTSA) and Tesla, more than 376,000 models Y and Model 3 are at risk of hydraulic steering failure.

Compared to those specified in the statement, Model Y and Model 3 demand more than 3,000 warranties so far and 570 accidents occurred due to this problem.

NHTSA first identified this problem by examining 12 different steering failures report in 2023 and launched a preliminary investigation. In 2024, 124 new complaints were received and 2.264 additional report on steering problems were identified.

What is the reason for the hydraulic steering failure?

The source of the problem is that it accesses a lot of voltage to the circuit card that controls the hydraulic steering system. This can lead to highly loading the components and the vehicle is disabled in the next slowdown.

However, the system allows the steering wheel to continue to work while the vehicle is moving, and the drivers do not lose control during the cruise.

Tesla launched an official recall process

NHTSA said that the problem may occur in a non -faith position, especially at the point where the vehicle stops, and could capture the driver unprepared. Then Tesla agreed to call an official recovery.

This was Tesla’s second largest recall in 2025. Previously, more than 283,000 models 3, Y, S and X were recalled due to defective spare camera systems. In October last year, more than 27,000 Cybertruck models were recalled in October last year due to an error in the camera systems.

Tesla plans to publish a software update to resolve the steering problem, but it is stated that a number of physical components may be required in a number of vehicles. The company has started its efforts to detect vehicles affected by the problem.
