Tesla steering recall: A software fix, really? Over 376,000 Model 3 and Model Y vehicles recalled due to potential power steering failure. A software patch is the proposed solution, addressing excess voltage to the steering control board. While the failure occurs only after stopping, the potential for unexpected increased steering effort raises safety concerns. Is a software fix enough to address what sounds like a hardware issue? Is this another instance of shipping a minimally viable product and patching later? What are the long-term implications of relying on software updates for critical safety systems?
