Tesla voluntarily recalled 2,431 Cybertruck electric pickup trucks 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 it is not presently aware of any accidents, injuries or fatalities related to the issue.
The company is offering to replace the drive inverter free of charge to customers impacted by the recall. Customers can expect the fix to take three hours, according to the company.
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 2 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.
It is encouraging owners to check its website to see if a recall has been issued for their vehicle.
