Tesla is facing problems with its Cybertruck, leading to the recall of almost 3,900 vehicles. The electric vehicle manufacturer has received complaints from two customers about a malfunctioning accelerator pedal. According to a recall report submitted to the US National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, high force applied to the Cybertruck's accelerator pedal can cause the pedal to detach and lock.

This has already led to a video going viral on TikTok by a Cybertruck owner, describing an incident where the accelerator pedal detached while he was driving, leaving him in full acceleration. Until 15 April, Tesla said it was not aware of any collisions, accidents or fatalities related to the issue.
