Tesla Recalls Some Semi Trucks Months After Release
Thursday, April 20th, 2023 AutoTesla is quickly becoming synonymous with ‘recall,’ a word it has familiarized itself with after reporting glitches in thousands of its vehicles over the last several years.
Now adding one more to its list, Tesla’s Semi truck, which was announced six years before it was produced, is being voluntarily recalled due to brake failure issues.
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) reported this is the first recall of the Semi since it was first delivered in December.
According to the NHTSA, the parking brake valve module may cause the Semi to roll away, and said, ‘A parking brake that is not engaged as expected when the driver releases the brakes may allow the vehicle to roll away, increasing the risk of [a] crash.’
