Tesla's new Cybertruck is shown on display at a Tesla store in San Diego, California, on Dec. 9, 2023.
Tesla has issued a voluntary recall of 3,878 Cybertrucks to fix a "stuck pedal" issue that had been depicted in a viral TikTok video posted last week by owner Jose Martinez.
After assessing the problem, Tesla on April 12 decided to issue a voluntary recall of the Cybertrucks, the filing says.
CNBC asked the NHTSA about the trapped pedal issue on the Cybertruck on April 14, after Martinez's video raised public awareness of the defect and unintended acceleration.
The NHTSA said it "uses many data sources in its enforcement processes, including social media and vehicle owner and other related forums."
