Nov 13 (Reuters) - Tesla said on Wednesday it

was recalling 2,431 Cybertruck electric pickup trucks in the

United States 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 United States 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 Nov. 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 at no extra cost, it said.

After a two-year delay due to production and battery-supply

challenges, Tesla began delivering its futuristic Cybertruck in

2023. The company has not disclosed specific production or

delivery numbers for the model.

The Blade Runner-inspired truck, launched to revitalize

the company's aging lineup amid slowing growth in EV demand, is

under close investor scrutiny due to its significant development

costs.
