Tesla Semi Trucks Recalled for Faulty Parking Brakes Months After Release
TL;DR
Tesla has issued its first recall for the Tesla Semi, with just 35 trucks affected. The recall is due to the electronic parking brake valve module (PVM) potentially not moving into position when the truck is put into park, causing parked trucks to roll away. It is unclear if the Tesla Semi uses a traditional air brake system or a supplemental electronic brake, but Tesla will replace the PVM in affected trucks free of charge and notify affected operators by May 23.
