According to documents submitted to the U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration website, Tesla stated that no accidents, injuries, or deaths related to this situation have been found so far. This is the tenth recall for the Cybertruck, and just a week ago, Tesla initiated a safety recall for 63,619 pickup trucks due to overly bright parking lights.
