Tesla has issued a voluntary recall for its Class 8 all-electric semi trucks, according to a notice by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) posted on March 24. The recall is due to faulty parking brake valve modules manufactured by one of the electric vehicle maker’s suppliers.

The 35 semi trucks potentially affected by the recall were produced between Nov. 30 and Feb. 28, the safety recall report (pdf) said.
