Loss of power steering caused by overstressed motor drive components will require increased steering effort from driver, raising risk of crash, NHTSA says.

Tesla has recalled more than 370,000 vehicles for a power steering issue.

The circuit board for the electronic power steering assist could experience what recall documents call an “overstress condition,” which would result in a loss of power assisted steering when the vehicle stops and then accelerates again, which cold increase the risk of a crash, according to the NHTSA.
