Tesla Recalls Cybertrucks Over Accelerator Pedal Issue

Tesla has announced a recall of all Cybertruck vehicles currently in circulation. The recall addresses a potential defect in the accelerator pedal assembly. According to the company, the accelerator pedal pad can dislodge and become trapped by the interior trim, leading to unintended acceleration.

This recall affects every Cybertruck delivered to date. Tesla has stated that it will contact owners to schedule a free repair. The fix involves replacing or modifying the accelerator pedal assembly to prevent the issue from recurring.

This marks the eighth recall for the Cybertruck since it began deliveries in early 2024. Previous recalls have addressed issues ranging from software glitches to structural concerns. The frequency of recalls has raised questions about the vehicle's initial quality control processes. Tesla maintains that it is committed to ensuring the safety and reliability of its vehicles and is actively working to resolve any identified issues. Owners are encouraged to contact Tesla or visit the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) website for more information about the recall and how to schedule a repair.
