Tesla said on Wednesday it was recalling 2,431 Cybertruck electric pickup trucks in the US as loss of drive power could increase the risk of a crash, in its sixth such move this year.

Last month the EV maker said it would recall more than 27,000 Cybertrucks in the US due to delayed rear-view camera images that could impair driver visibility and increase crash risks.

A fault in the drive inverter in Cybertrucks manufactured between November 6 2023 and July 30 this year could cause the part to stop producing torque when the driver uses the accelerator pedal, resulting in a loss of propulsion and increasing the risk of a collision, Tesla said in a report.

Tesla will replace the recalled drive inverter with one equipped with a functioning component, it said.
