The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) closed its investigation into Tesla power steering failures on June 27.

The probe involved approximately 376,241 Model 3 and Model Y vehicles from the 2023 model year.

NHTSA launched the inquiry in July 2023 after owners reported steering difficulties.

The agency ended the engineering analysis following a Tesla recall in early 2025.

Tesla issued an over-the-air software update to prevent overvoltage and overstress in motor drive components.

The technical fix prevents conditions that lead to increased steering effort.

The closure resolves a significant safety inquiry for the automaker.
