Tesla Recalls 2,431 Cybertrucks Over Propulsion Issue
- Tesla announced its sixth recall of its Cybertruck vehicles, this time recalling 2,431 due to defective drive inverters that could result in a crash.
- The vehicle was made available for sale in November 2023 and Tesla has been affected by delays due to production problems and battery supply constraints.
- This is a physical recall for the vehicle and cannot be rectified with an over-the-air software update.
- Faulty inverters could cause drivers to lose the ability to apply torque to their vehicles using the accelerator pedal, resulting in loss of propulsion.
- Tesla issued previous recalls in April due to a fault that caused the accelerator pedal to stick, and a further recall in June over issues with Cybertruck windscreen wipers and exterior trim.
- The faulty inverter could cause the driver to lose propulsion, resulting in a crash.
- The recall will involve 3 hours of free replacement work for Cybertruck owners.
- Tesla is currently facing four documented NHTSA investigations over possible safety defects and a criminal probe by the US Department of Justice over claims its vehicles can drive themselves.
- Elon Musk's appointment to co-leading a non-government department has raised concerns that this could result in even less regulation in the United States.
- The concern is this could result in changes to federal motor vehicle safety standards.
