What's wrong?
The accelerator pedal assembly in the 2024 Tesla Cybertruck includes the pedal itself and a pad your foot presses. Under normal operation, that pedal tells the vehicle how much power the driver is requesting. The pad is supposed to stay fixed to the pedal so the pedal can move freely and return when pressure is released.
On affected Cybertrucks, soap was used during assembly to help install the pad onto the accelerator pedal. That soap left residue, which reduced how tightly the pad stayed attached. The pad can dislodge, slide out of position, and become trapped by the interior trim, leaving the accelerator pedal pressed when the driver is not asking for more power.
The warning sign is immediate. If the pad has shifted and the driver presses the accelerator, the pedal will feel or operate abnormally. If the brake is applied while the accelerator is also pressed, the vehicle gives an audible and visual alert, and braking cuts drive torque.

What's the safety risk?
A trapped accelerator pedal can make the 2024 Cybertruck accelerate unintentionally and increase the risk of a crash.

Repair is free at any franchised Tesla dealer.
What should I do?
- Check your VIN to confirm your 2024 Tesla Cybertruck is included in this recall.
- Contact Tesla service to schedule the free accelerator-pedal assembly repair.
- Tell Tesla service the issue is the accelerator pedal pad trapping the pedal against the interior trim, and reference recall number 24V276 when you schedule.
- Bring the owner notice if Tesla mailed one, or keep the recall number ready at check-in.
- Use caution until the repair is complete. If the accelerator pedal pad feels loose or the pedal sticks, stop driving and contact Tesla service.
What happens at the repair
At the service center, a Tesla technician repairs or replaces the accelerator pedal assembly so the pedal pad cannot dislodge and become trapped by the interior trim. The recall repair is free, and parts and labor are covered. Out of pocket repairs already paid are handled through the new vehicle warranty, not through a separate reimbursement program, because all affected Cybertruck vehicles remain under warranty. Ask Tesla service how warranty coverage applies if you have prior repair paperwork.
