STEERING:ELECTRIC POWER ASSIST SYSTEM
What Happened
The power steering system in your Model S or Model X helps make steering easier while driving. In some 2017-2021 models, this system can malfunction on rough roads or after hitting a pothole, reducing power assist.
Risk if Unfixed
If your power steering fails, you'll have to work harder to steer your vehicle, especially at slow speeds. This could increase the risk of a crash, especially in heavy traffic or on uneven roads.
Free Fix
Tesla will send a software update to your vehicle's computer, which will recalibrate the power steering system for free. You should receive a notification letter, but you can also contact Tesla customer service at 1-877-798-3752 to confirm.
