Elon Musk’s company Tesla has recalled almost all of its Cybertrucks. These Cybertrucks have been recalled due to a problem in the outer panel. This is the eighth number and largest recall of this model. The approximately 46,000 vehicles recalled by Elon Musk’s company include all models that were manufactured from November 13, 2023 to February 27, 2025. The Cybertruck was first time produced on November 13, 2023.
The outer panel can separate while driving
The NHTSA i.e., National Highway Traffic Safety Administration report states that the outer panel on the left and right side of the windshield can separate while driving. The stainless steel strip on both sides between the windshield and the roof is glued to the truck assembly with a structural adhesive. This strip is called the cant rail assembly.
All vehicles recalled as a precaution
In a report filed with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration on Tuesday, Tesla said only 1% of electric vehicles of this model were defective, but all vehicles have been recalled as a precaution.
Tesla company said, “If the cant rail stainless steel panel separates from the vehicle while driving, it could create a road hazard for motorists following behind and increase their risk of injury or collision.”
Tesla told the National Highway Traffic Safety that it has received about 150 warranty claims related to this issue, but no accident has been reported yet.
Tesla will do 4 things to fix the issue
- It will use a different adhesive to fix this issue.
- The Cybertrucks that are currently in the factory will also be updated.
- The new vehicles that will be produced from March 21 will already have the improvements.
- Tesla will replace this panel for free. The owner notification letter is expected to be sent on May 19, 2025.
The company is facing opposition, the stock has fallen by 40% this year
Tesla’s recall comes at a time when the company is already facing opposition. In fact, the company’s CEO Elon Musk is currently overseeing federal spending cuts for the Trump administration.
Many people in America are not happy with these cuts and are expressing their protest by selling Tesla’s vehicles. Some people have also adopted aggressive methods to protest. These people are destroying Tesla’s vehicles.
In such a situation, the company’s stock price has fallen by about 40% this year. At the beginning of the year, Tesla’s stock was trading at $379, which has now come down to around $236. The stock has fallen by 30% in the last one month.
