Tesla recalls cybertruck: Tesla is recalling nearly all of its Cybertrucks in the U.S. due to a safety defect in the cant rail—a stainless-steel exterior trim panel that can “detach from the vehicle.” This poses a serious risk, as the loose part could become a “road hazard” and increase the chance of a crash.
The recall affects 46,096 Cybertrucks from model years 2024 and 2025, made between November 2023 and February 2025. Tesla has promised to fix the issue for free and says no crashes or injuries have been reported.
This is the eighth recall for the Cybertruck in 2024, following issues like faulty windshield wipers, accelerator pedal problems, and software glitches. These repeated recalls highlight Tesla’s ongoing quality control challenges, which could hurt its reputation and stock performance as competition in the electric vehicle market grows.
Tesla’s focus on innovation is clear, but this recall reminds us that balancing cutting-edge design with reliable manufacturing is key to staying ahead.
