The Tesla he will remember it all Cybertruck it was released before April 4th due to an accelerator related problem. The intervention, carried out voluntarily by the company, involves 3,878 vehicles in circulation in the United States, in fact all production began on November 13. Currently there are no reports of accidents occurring due to this defect.

Pedal. When “high force is applied to the accelerator”, we read in the NHTSA report (federal road safety agency), the pedal cover “dangers coming off its seat and getting stuck in the top cover”, and the risk of leaving. drive at full speed. In this case, however, it is possible to step on the brake pedal to overcome the thrust of the engine, even at a pressing speed, and stop the car safely. The problem will be due to the “unauthorized” use of lubricant on the assembly line to accelerate the assembly of the pedal cover.

Stop production. The first report reached Tesla at the end of March, when a user reported the accelerator pedal covering; The logs of the car, examined two days later, actually noted that the driver had pressed the brake and the accelerator at the same time. The next report arrived on April 3. Production was halted for a few days to change the order of speed assembly. Tesla will replace (or in any case repair) the pedal at no additional cost to the user, while models manufactured after April 17 will have a new part that prevents the problem from happening again. Finally, Cybertrucks waiting for delivery will be repaired before being given to customers.

It’s the second time. For the electric pick-up this is the second recall in a few months: the primowhich was involved Two million Tesla, concerned the enhancement of driver attention monitoring systems when the Autopilot feature is in use, and was fixed via an over-the-air update. For this problem, however, you will have to go to a seminar.
