> Tesla said that if this overstress condition occurs while the vehicle is in motion, the steering remains unaffected, and a visual alert is triggered. But once the vehicle stops, the steering assist may fail and remain disabled when it moves again.

IMO, this isn't a safety issue worthy of a recall then.

Any component failure that pops up a warning and allows the driver to safely pull over to be towed for a repair is not a safety concern.

Obviously, users might expect more of an expensive car - but that's what warranties and consumer protection laws are for, not safety recalls.
