Tesla recalls 2,400 Cybertrucks in sixth recall of 2024

Tesla voluntarily recalled 2,431 Cybertruck electric pickup trucks on Wednesday due to faulty drive inverters which increase the risk for driver collision in its sixth recall effort this year.

The recall applies to all 2024 Cybertruck vehicles manufactured from Nov. 6, 2023 to July 30, 2024.

“On affected vehicles, a fault in the drive inverter may cause it to stop producing torque," the company wrote in a statement. "If the inverter stops producing torque, the driver loses the ability to apply torque to the vehicle using the accelerator pedal resulting in a loss of propulsion, which may increase the risk of a collision."

Tesla said they are not presently aware of any accidents, injuries or fatalities related to the issue.

They are offering to replace the drive inverter free of charge to customers impacted by the recall. The company estimates the fix will take three hours.

Earlier this year, Tesla recalled 2024 Cybertruck vehicles manufactured between Nov. 13, 2023, and Sept. 14, 2024 due to low voltage hardware that slowed the speed of the rearview camera and impaired drivers' viewing capabilities.

In June, the company also recalled nearly two million vehicles due to software problems.

Tesla has also flagged issues with electric parking brakes installed on Model S and Model X vehicles built between February and October 2016 stating they may contain a small gear that could have been manufactured improperly by a third-party supplier.

They are encouraging owners to check their website to see if a recall has been issued for their vehicle.
