- Tesla has officially recalled its Cybertruck after finding a pedal fault
- More than 3,000 vehicles are under the recall announced Friday.
Tesla has recalled more than 3,000 Cybertrucks to repair an accelerator pedal pad that could become loose and lodged in the interior trim.
The U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) announced Friday that the company will replace or repair the accelerator pedal assembly at no charge and owners will be notified via mailed letters in June.
The recall comes after a new Tesla owner shared the design defect in a video, claiming that the pedal cover slid forward and jammed the accelerator underneath the inside that was held down at 100 percent.
This is a developing story… More updates to come
Tesla has recalled more than 3,000 Cybertrucks to fix an accelerator pedal pad that could come loose and become lodged in the interior trim.
The recall comes as hundreds of Cybertruck owners reported their delivery appointments had been canceled and they did not know when shipments would restart.
NHTSA said 3,878 Cybertrucks were affected by the recall.
Many buyers had received messages indicating their deliveries had been canceled weeks before Tesla made the call to remove electric vehicles from the roads.
Elon Musk only acknowledged in a comment on a Whole Mars Catalog .
The billionaire said: ‘There were no injuries or accidents as a result of this. “We’re just being very cautious.”
But now it appears that deliveries have not resumed due to Friday’s recall.
