Tesla recalled 3,878 Cybertrucks to fix an accelerator pedal pad that can loosen and lodge in the interior trim, according to the U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA).

A trapped accelerator pedal could cause the 6,800 lb vehicle to accelerate unintentionally, increasing the crash risk.

Earlier in April, Tesla halted all Cybertruck deliveries after discovering the pedal safety issue involving its decision to use adhesive instead of mechanical fasteners on the accelerator pedal cover.

Cybertruck pedals have metal covers that use adhesive instead of fasteners to secure them in place. Oil contamination during production reportedly can cause the cover to shift out of position when the foot applies forward pressure on the accelerator.

At least one automotive publication criticized Tesla's decision.“The pedal cover assembly shows that cutting costs on safety-related components can lead to safety hazards,” AutoEvolution summarized. “A simple fastener could’ve prevented this whole drama, keeping everything secured in place.”

In December, Tesla recalled 2 million vehicles after an NHTSA investigation found that its auto driving technology invited driver misuse.

But the recalls are the least of the EV manufacturer’s problems at present.

On Tuesday, Tesla reported a 55% plunge in profit for the first quarter to $1.13 billion while revenue fell 9% to $21.3 billion. On the heels of the grim figures, the company declared “a flurry of bold commitments” related to ramping up production of a more affordable car while doubling down on its fully autonomous “Cybercab.”

“We experienced numerous challenges in the [first quarter] from the Red Sea conflict and the arson attack at Gigafactory Berlin, to the gradual ramp of the updated Model 3 in Fremont,” Tesla said in a statement.

In early April the company began cutting 10% of its global workforce — about 14,000 people.

Conditions in the global EV market are so challenging, Tesla has been forced to cut prices, but still the company struggles to attract buyers.

And after years of vague promises, some investors have tired of endless delays.

“(Owner) Elon Musk has promised Robotaxis since 2016,” Jan Becker of Apex.AI, a company that provides software used by autonomous driving systems, told the New York Times. “I don’t see enough evidence of Tesla releasing a Robotaxi, at least in the short term.”
