Adding to the ever-growing list of Tesla recalls due to severe product defects, on April 17, 2024, Tesla recalled all Cybertruck models that the company has produced to date. The Cybertruck recall addresses a design flaw that causes the accelerator to get stuck at the maximum power position, resulting in the 7,000-pound truck accelerating uncontrollably. During manufacturing, Tesla chose to use adhesive rather than bolts to secure the accelerator’s cover – adhesive which is now deteriorating just months into the truck’s time on the market.

What is the Cybertruck?
The Cybertruck is Tesla’s latest vehicle model and first truck. Throughout the Cybertruck rollout, it has become the new image for Tesla’s reckless engineering. Company officials have claimed the truck is bulletproof and might even be able to operate as a boat. Tesla has further boasted that the stainless-steel siding of the car will not bend or scratch even in some accidents, abandoning the age-old “crumple zone” design which allows cars to absorb the shock from accidents rather than the passengers. The Cybertruck is perhaps the best example of the company’s mystifying insistence on abandoning tried and true safety practices in pursuit of flashy but dangerous gimmicks.
The truck costs over $80,000, with some models costing as much as $100,000. While the truck does not currently feature Tesla’s notorious Full Self-Driving Beta, it is likely that the company plans to implement this signature feature on it. Our product defect attorneys have extensive experience litigating cases against Tesla and know that the accelerator pad defect may be the first of many dangerous product defects that will be uncovered in the new Cybertruck. We are committed to public safety and seeing that those who fall victim to Tesla’s recklessness receive justice. If you have suffered harm due to this or other Tesla defects, contact our team of product defect attorneys today.
