Tesla Inc.
TSLA -2.01%
has released a firmware update to address the voluntary recall of about 40,000 2017-2021 Model S and Model X vehicles over an issue that could have led to a loss of power-steering assistance in certain situations.
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration said in a safety-recall report that the issue could have led to reduced or lost power-steering assistance due to road dynamics, such as potholes or bumps. Tesla isn’t aware of any injuries related to the issue, the agency said.
The NHTSA said Tesla began to roll out an update on Oct. 11 that included new calibration values for the electronic power-assist steering system. About a week later, Tesla began to receive alerts relating to the calibration values, the NHTSA said. On Oct. 25, the company decided to voluntarily recall the affected vehicles, according to the NHTSA.
Representatives for Tesla didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment.
