"Tesla Power Steering Loss Prompts US Auto Safety Agency Upgrade"

The US National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) has escalated its investigation into Tesla vehicles over power steering loss to an engineering analysis, covering about 334,000 Model 3 and Model Y vehicles from the 2023 model year. The probe follows numerous complaints of steering issues, including an inability to turn the wheel and increased effort required. This comes as Tesla announced a recall of 2.2 million electric vehicles in the US due to incorrect font sizes on warning lights, with no reported crashes or injuries. The company has been under scrutiny for its Autopilot advanced driver-assistance system, and the latest recall includes various Tesla models.
