Tesla Cyberquad for Kids recalled due to violations of federal safety standards
The Tesla Cyberquad for Kids is being recalled by Radio Flyer (who made the product) after the Consumer Product Safety Commission found it violated federal all-terrain vehicle (ATV) safety standards for young people. The agency determined that, among other issues, the mechanical suspension and maximum tire pressure were not adequate. Additionally, he said the Cyberquad for Kids does not have an approved ATV Action Plan, which outlines the safety requirements and is necessary to build, import, sell or distribute ATVs in the United States. p>
In the recall notice, which was spotted by The Verge, the CPSC said approximately 5,000 units of the Cyberquad for Kids have been sold. Tesla offered the product through its website. Radio Flyer said people who purchased one should immediately return the motor controller (removal of which will permanently disable the Cyberquad) for a full $1,900 refund. The company will reimburse at least some costs related to the return of the motor controller and the disposal of other parts. It is not clear if new Cyberquad for Kids models will be sold later.
The electric Cyberquad for kids has up to 24 km range and a top speed of 16 km/h. It has a steel frame, padded seat and LED light bars. Although there were no reports of serious injuries, Radio Flyer said it learned of a case where the Cyberquad for Kids - which is designed for a single pilot - rolled over while being driven by a child. and a woman, the adult supporting a bruised shoulder.
Radio Flyer noted that Tesla's primary involvement with the Cyberquad for Kids, other than its sale, was consulting on the ATV's appearance. It's designed to look like the standard Cyberquad, which Tesla announced alongside the Cybertruck. Radio Flyer also sold buildable toy versions of Tesla cars for children.
Meanwhile, there's a different kind of Tesla recall. As Electrek noted, the company is recalling just over 24,000 Model 3 vehicles built since 2017 due to a possible seat belt issue.
