A Tesla announced this Wednesday (13) the sixth recall of the electric pickup truck Cybertruck in the United States, with the new call for owners involving 2,400 vehicles which may have been fitted with a defective part that could cause loss of power and increase risk of accidents.
An inverter fault in Cybertrucks manufactured by July 30 could cause the vehicle to stop producing torque when the driver uses the accelerator pedal, resulting in a loss of propulsion and increasing the risk of an accident, Tesla said in a statement.
