Tesla to recall over 46,000 Cybertrucks, NHTSA says
Tesla is recalling 46,096 Cybertruck vehicles in the U.S. due to an exterior panel that can detach while driving, as reported by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) on March 20, 2025.
Details of the Recall:
-
Affected Vehicles: The recall pertains to certain Model Year 2024 Cybertruck vehicles produced between November 6, 2023, and July 30, 2024.
-
Issue: An exterior panel may detach while the vehicle is in motion, posing a potential hazard to other road users.
-
Remedy: Tesla will notify affected owners and provide instructions on how to proceed with necessary repairs. Owners can check if their vehicle is affected by entering their Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) in the Tesla VIN Recall Search or NHTSA VIN Recall search tools.
Previous Recalls:
This recall adds to a series of issues the Cybertruck has faced since its release:
-
Drive Inverter Replacement Recall: In November 2024, Tesla issued a recall for certain 2024 Cybertruck vehicles due to potential drive inverter faults that could lead to a sudden loss of propulsion.
-
Accelerator Pedal Recall: In April 2024, nearly 4,000 Cybertrucks were recalled because of a faulty accelerator pedal that could dislodge under high force, potentially leading to unintended acceleration.
-
Warning Light Font Size: In January 2024, Tesla recalled almost 2.2 million vehicles, including the 2024 Cybertruck, due to the font size on the instrument panel for brake, park, and ABS warnings being too small, making them difficult to read.
Owner Guidance:
Owners of the affected Cybertruck vehicles are advised to contact Tesla's customer service or visit the official Tesla support page for more information. Additionally, they can utilize the NHTSA's VIN lookup tool to verify if their vehicle is subject to any recalls.
Addressing these recalls promptly is crucial to ensure the safety and reliability of the vehicle.
