Tesla is recalling its Cybertruck due to unintended accelerations that can occur. Behind the problem is a physical, not a mechanical, issue. Auto123.
With Earth Day just around the corner, it’s an electric week at Auto123 as we turn the lights towards noteworthy developments in the EV segment.
Today, Tesla announced it is recalling the vehicle to rectify the problem. Incident reports concerning the situation indicated a problem with the accelerator pedal jamming, which can lead to the vehicle racing out of control. NHTSA documents give a more precise idea of the problem. Those state that when a significant force is applied to the cushion covering the accelerator pedal, the cushion can detach and become trapped in the inner lining of the driver's footwell. If it does, the accelerator pedal remains depressed and the vehicle continues to accelerate.Fortunately, the situation can be quickly brought under control, simply by depressing the brake pedal, which immediately cuts off power to the wheels.
Tesla said that as of April 15, it was not aware of any accidents or injuries related to the problem.
