Tesla recalls all Cybertrucks due to unintended acceleration

Tesla is recalling its Cybertruck to fix accelerator pedals that could stick and cause vehicles to accelerate unintentionally.

In the affected vehicles, a pad attached to the pedal may dislodge and become trapped by interior trim, preventing it from being released once pressed, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA). And it’s all because of soap.

Soap was used in an “unapproved” manner as a lubricant to aid in attaching the pad to the accelerator pedal during assembly. Residual soap makes it easier for the pad to slide off the pedal and lodge in interior trim.

Love how Safari screwed up the link

It’s fine to use a lubricant to get a part in place, but there should be screws that hold it there, or it’s going to fall off the same way it was put on.
