Abstract

Tesla is recalling 3,878 Cybertrucks due to a problem with the accelerator pedal. The pedal pad may dislodge and get trapped, causing the vehicle to accelerate unintentionally and increasing the risk of a crash. The issue is caused by soap used in the vehicle assembly. Tesla is not aware of any crashes, injuries, or deaths associated with the accelerator problem. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) has instructed Tesla to replace or repair the accelerator pedal assembly for free. The recall comes as Tesla faces declining sales and a slumping stock price. [Extracted from the article]
