Tesla ordered to recall almost 4k Cybertrucks over faulty accelerator

The pedal problem was raised on social media this week by one driver who found that the car's accelerator could become stuck to the floor when a rubber cover came loose.

Tesla is recalling almost 4,000 of its flagship Cybertrucks to fix a potentially dangerous fault with their accelerators' pedals. The NHTSA said in its recall report that the fault was caused by "residual lubricant (soap)" which had been used to apply the rubber pad during the manufacturing process. The NHTSA said Tesla first received notice of a customer complaint about the accelerators on March 31, followed by a second on April 3.
