TeslaThe National Highway Traffic Safety Administration announced Thursday that it will issue a software update to prevent motorists from using the vehicle’s entertainment system to play video while it is moving.

After receiving a August complaint, the NHTSA announced Wednesday that an investigation was opened into 580,000 Tesla Model 3 and Model S cars. It stated that it would investigate whether car drivers were distracted from playing “Passenger Play” games, which are displayed on the main screen of the vehicle.

In an email statement, a spokesperson for the NHTSA stated that Tesla had informed agency after completing a preliminary evaluation. “Passenger Play” will no longer be accessible when it is moving due to a recent software update.

Tesla’s movements are being monitored closely by the agency.

The NHTSA said earlier this month that it’s communicating with the electric car maker regarding faulty Autopilot cameras in some of the vehicles the company produced in Fremont, California. CNBC previously reported that Tesla is replacing repeater cameras in some of its U.S.-made vehicles after finding faulty printed circuit boards inside.
