(DailyEmailNews.com) – Just as he has been tapped into a government position under President-elect Donald Trump, the futuristic vehicle championed by Elon Musk faces its sixth recall this year.
The latest setback to Tesla’s Cybertruck comes as the company’s stock surged following Trump’s presidential election victory.
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) recently published the recall, which affects over 2,400 Cybertrucks built between November 6, 2023, and July 30, 2024.
The issue stems from faulty drive inverters that could cause a sudden loss of power to the wheels, potentially leading to dangerous situations on the road.
The recall process involves replacing the drive inverter free of charge, with the fix set to begin on or shortly after December 9.
Tesla claims that a warning will be displayed on the vehicle’s screen if the issue occurs, allowing drivers to take precautions.
Known for its innovative approach to electric vehicles, Tesla has been forced to address multiple issues with the Cybertruck since its release.
Previous recalls have tackled problems with rearview camera displays, windshield wipers and even accelerator pads.
It is worth noting that while these recalls are concerning, they also showcase Tesla’s commitment to addressing safety issues quickly.
The company has taken a proactive approach to fixing problems, even when no accidents or injuries have been reported.
Tesla’s stance shows a level of responsibility that should be commended in an industry often plagued by cover-ups and delayed responses to safety concerns.
As Tesla navigates these challenges, the company’s relationship with the Trump administration could prove pivotal.
Despite the setbacks, Trump’s pro-business stance and skepticism towards traditional automakers could benefit Tesla, which has positioned itself as a disruptor in the automotive industry.
