Is my Cybertruck's accelerator pedal part of the recall?

Short answer: If you have a 2024 Cybertruck built before the fix, probably yes. Tesla recalled them (NHTSA 24V276) because the accelerator pedal pad can come loose, slide up and get trapped by the interior trim, holding the pedal down. Tesla service replaces or repairs the pedal. Owners found most pads were tight, but one popped off with only two plastic clips holding it. If your truck is part of this recall, Tesla fixes it for free.

Symptom: The metal pedal cover feels loose, shifts or slides up the pedal, or the pedal doesn't return fully because it's catching on the trim.

What to check first

1. Run your VIN for recall 24V276 in the Tesla app or at nhtsa.gov/recalls.
2. Look at the pedal before you drive. If the pad has moved or is catching on trim, don't drive it and schedule service.
3. Know the override: owners point out that pressing the brake overrides the accelerator. If the pedal ever sticks, brake firmly and shift to neutral.
4. Don't pry on the cover to test it. Let service inspect it.

Likely causes

1. Loose accelerator pedal pad (recall 24V276). Tesla says the pad may dislodge and the pedal can become trapped by the interior trim. Service replaces or repairs the pedal assembly.

What it usually costs

The recall repair is free.

Is it safe to keep driving?

If the pad is secure and the recall is scheduled, owners kept driving. If the pad is loose or moving, don't drive it. A stuck pedal can cause unintended acceleration. Verify with Tesla service.

DIY or shop?

Tesla service. It's a free recall, and owner fixes could affect the remedy.

What owners report

• In Accelerator pedal cover recall detail on Cybertruck Owners Club, owners checked their own pedal pads after the recall news. Several with February and March builds said theirs were tight. One owner popped the cover off easily, found it held by only two plastic clips, and drove without it while reminding others the brake pedal overrides the accelerator. Another owner pointed out that popping it off took a pull toward the driver, not the push of pressing the pedal.
• In Accelerator pedal issue - incorrect spot welding (rivet for the rescue), an owner thought the cover's attachment was done wrong and said he would add a couple of rivets himself if Tesla didn't act. Another member said the shiny cover shouldn't be there at all.

My take

My advice as a former lot tech: whatever you drive, if something under your feet feels loose, stop and look. On a brand-new truck under recall, let the manufacturer fix it and keep the paperwork.

Vehicle focus: 2024 Tesla Cybertruck.

Safety / mechanic note
