The Tesla Cyberquad, which was launched last year, is experiencing a product recall for failing to comply with the requirements of mandatory federal safety standards for teenage ATVs.
The recall comes after an incident involving a Tesla Cyberquad that flipped over while being driven by an eight-year-old child and a 36-year-old woman. As a result, adults have bruises on their shoulders.
The United States Consumer Product Safety Commission said the ATV did not meet safety standards related to mechanical suspension and maximum tire pressure.
Many safety requirements, such as driver training, dissemination of safety information, age recommendations, and other safety measures” are designed to “reduce the danger of accidents and injuries, preventing serious injury or death.
As a result, the Consumer Product Safety Commission said owners should stop using the Tesla Cyberquad immediately and contact Radio Flyer for a full refund. However, this is easier said than done as the owner must remove the Cyberquad motor controller and send it back to the Radio Flyer via a prepaid envelope.
Once this is done, the Tesla Cyberquad will be permanently disabled and owners will get their money back. Customers may also receive funds to help cover costs associated with disposing of Cyberquad itself.
For your information, Cyberquad for Kids is produced by Feishen Vehicle Industry Co from China and imported by Radio Flyer. Then, it was sold on the Tesla website.
