tesla recalled 3,878 trucks from the market Cybertruck for rework or replace accelerator pedals that may come loose and cause the vehicle to accelerate unintentionally, increasing the risk of an accident.
The automaker was notified of two customer complaints related to the issue, according to a recall report filed with the U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. The company said that When too much force is applied to the Cybertruck’s accelerator, the pedal can come off and get trapped by the interior finish.
Tesla will fix the accelerator pedals for free. The company’s shares fell less than 1 percent as of 9:48 a.m. Friday in New York. The stock has fallen 40 percent this year.
The retreat offers a first idea of how many Cybertrucks have been sold since CEO Elon Musk delivered the first pickup trucks to customers in November. Tesla has yet to break out deliveries of the model in its quarterly production and delivery reports.
Musk has estimated that it will take Tesla 12 to 18 months to assemble stainless steel-clad Cybertrucks in high volume. He warned that the company is unlikely to reach an annualized production rate of 250,000 trucks until next year.
