VIN Range 1 : Begin : NR End : NR Not sequential Description of Defect :
Description of the Defect : On affected vehicles, when high force is applied to the pad on the accelerator pedal, the pad may dislodge, which may cause the pedal to become trapped in the interior trim above the pedal.
FMVSS 1 : NR FMVSS 2 : NR
Description of the Safety Risk : If the pad on the accelerator pedal becomes trapped in the interior trim above the pedal, the performance and operation of the pedal will be affected, which may increase the risk of a collision. Note that application of the brake pedal will cut drive torque, including when both brake and accelerator pedals are pressed, and continued application of the brake pedal will bring the vehicle to a stop as quickly as if the accelerator pedal was not pressed.
Description of the Cause : An unapproved change introduced lubricant (soap) to aid in the component assembly of the pad onto the accelerator pedal. Residual lubricant reduced the retention of the pad to the pedal. Identification of Any Warning
that can Occur : If the condition is present and the driver attempts to apply the accelerator pedal, the driver will detect the condition through immediate compromised
performance and operation of the pedal. In addition, if the condition is present Part 573 Safety Recall Report 24V-276 Page 2 when the driver applies the brake pedal, the driver will receive an audible and visual alert that both brake and accelerator pedals are being pressed.
Application of the brake pedal will cut drive torque, including when both brake and accelerator pedals are pressed.

The information contained in this report was submitted pursuant to 49 CFR §573
– As of April 15, 2024, Tesla is not aware of any collisions, injuries or deaths relating to this condition.
Description of Remedy :
Description of Remedy Program : At no charge to the customer, Tesla will replace or rework the accelerator
pedal assembly such that the assembly meets specifications and ensures sufficient retention force between the pad and accelerator pedal to prevent the pad from dislodging. How Remedy Component Differs from Recalled Component : Identify How/When Recall Condition was Corrected in Production :
Tesla does not plan to include a statement in the Part 577 owner notification about pre-notice reimbursement to owners because all affected vehicles remain covered under the new vehicle warranty.
The recalled component is an accelerator pedal assembly as described in the cause section. The replacement component is an accelerator pedal assembly as described in the remedy section.
By April 17, 2024, Cybertruck vehicles in production were equipped with a new accelerator pedal component and part number. Cybertruck vehicles at delivery centers and in transit to delivery centers will receive the remedy described above prior to delivery to customers. Recall Schedule :
Description of Recall Schedule : All Tesla stores and service centers will be notified on or around April 19,
2024. Owner notification letters will be mailed in accordance with 49 C.F. R. § 577.7.
Planned Dealer Notification Date : APR 19, 2024 – APR 19, 2024
Planned Owner Notification Date : JUN 18, 2024 – JUN 18, 2024

Procedure
WARNING: Use only the PEDAL REWORK KIT (listed in the Special Tools section) to perform the rework described in this procedure. DO NOT attempt to perform this procedure without the drilling jig provided in the PEDAL REWORK KIT.
1. Open the LH front door and move the LH front seat fully rearward.
2. If a floormat is installed in the driver footwell, remove it from the vehicle.
3. Clean the surface of the aluminum pedal pad with an IPA wipe, making sure to remove all debris from the pad.
4. Measure the distance between the bottom of the aluminum accelerator pedal pad and the bottom of the pedal backing (Figure 1).
WARNING: DO NOT manually reposition the pedal pad under any circumstances. Measure the distance, and then perform the procedure as instructed.
Figure 1
• If the measured distance is 5 mm or greater, replace the accelerator pedal assembly (refer to Service Manual procedure 3325020022). Afterwards, discontinue this procedure and use bulletin correction code S022433003.
WARNING: Make sure that the replacement accelerator pedal assembly has a rivet installed on the bottom end of the pedal pad (Figure 2). If a rivet is not installed on the replacement pedal assembly, install the replacement pedal assembly on the vehicle, and then continue to step 5 to install a rivet on the replacement pedal assembly.
Figure 2
• If the measured distance is less than 5 mm, continue to step 5.

5. Position the drilling jig (provided in the pedal rework kit) on the accelerator pedal assembly, making sure the bottom of the jig aligns with the bottom of the pedal (Figure 3).
CAUTION: The drilling jig is desgined to contact a reinforcement tab (circled, Figure 4) on the back of the pedal assembly, at which point, the jig will no longer slide downwards. Do not force the jig past this point, as doing so could damage the pedal assembly.
Figure 3
Figure 4
6. Install a 4 mm drill bit in the cordless drill, making sure that 35 mm to 40 mm of the drill bit is protruding from the drill (Figure 5).
CAUTION: No less than 35 mm and no more than 40 mm of the drill bit may protrude from the drill. An exposed drill bit length outside of this range might prevent proper rivet installation or damage the pedal assembly.
TIP: The drill bit spacer (provided in the pedal rework kit) can be used to help achieve the 35 mm–40 mm exposed drill bit length.

7. Put on Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) appropriate for drilling work, such as gloves and eye protection.
WARNING: Failure to use proper PPE can result in personal injury.
8. Position the drill bit in the hole of the drilling jig (Figure 6), and then drill through the pedal, making sure the back side of the pedal is drilled through.
TIP: Use an inspection mirror to confirm that the back side of the pedal has been drilled through.
Figure 6
9. Remove the drilling jig, and then vacuum up any drilling debris around the base of the pedal.
10. Install a 4 mm rivet bit in the rivet gun, and then position the rivet (1064496-00-A) on the rivet bit.
11. Install the rivet that attaches the pedal pad to the pedal backing (Figure 7).
Figure 7
12. Vacuum up any remaining debris on the footwell carpet around the base of the accelerator pedal and behind the pedal assembly. Also vacuum and/or wipe both sides of the floormat clean, if one was removed earlier in this procedure.

13. Confirm proper rivet installation:
• The rivet head should be in complete contact with the pedal pad, and slight deformation of the pedal pad is expected (Figure 8).
• Use an inspection mirror to confirm that the rivet mandrel is flush with the back side of the pedal assembly (Figure 9).
Figure 8
Figure 9
14. Reinstall the floormat, if one was removed.
15. Use the appropriate bulletin correction code:
• Use bulletin correction code S012433003 if the vehicle’s existing pedal assembly was riveted.
• Use bulletin correction code S032433003 if a new pedal assembly was installed and then riveted.
