Tesla recalls nearly 4,000 Cybertrucks due to faulty accelerator pedal

Tesla recalled all Cybertrucks made between November 13, 2023, to April 4, 2024. The MY 2024 Cybertrucks have faulty accelerator pedals that may be dislodged when high force is applied, the National Highway Traffic Association, which issued the recall report, said. The recall affects nearly 4,000 cars, Reuters reported.

The pedal could become trapped in the interior trim above it, which may increase the risk of collision, the agency said. 

Tesla also introduced an unapproved change – using soap as a lubricant when assembling the accelerator pedal. "Residual lubricant reduced the retention of the pad to the pedal," the association said.
