Tesla recalls majority of Cybertrucks for fourth time | Tesla

Tesla said on Tuesday it was recalling most Cybertrucks in the ******* States over issues with their windshield wipers and exterior trim.

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration says Tesla has now issued four recalls for its 2024 Cybertruck.

Tesla said it is recalling 11,688 Cybertrucks from the 2024 model year because the front windshield wiper motor controller ******* due to excessive electrical current. Non-functioning wipers could increase the risk of a ****** in wet weather. The wiper recall covers all trucks built through 6 June.

The company said it will replace the wiper motor after it identified early wiper motor failures. In February, Tesla recovered 20 wiper motors to inspect as it investigated.

Separately, Tesla is also recalling 11,383 Cybertrucks because the trunk bed trim sail applique could have been improperly attached, creating the potential to become loose and create a road hazard.

The recalls are the latest setback for the futuristic truck, whose mass production is expected to start next year. Elon Musk’s firm has yet to disclose how many it has handed over to consumers in its quarterly deliveries and production report.

Tesla began investigating in December after issues were seen in an undelivered Cybertruck. In May, the company found a second occurrence in a customer vehicle and then discovered additional instances of loose or detached appliques due to improper installation of the applique or adhesive.

The company’s service team will apply an adhesion promoter and pressure-sensitive tape or replace the missing trim free of charge for affected vehicles.

Tesla recalled nearly 4,000 Cybertrucks in April to fix an accelerator pedal pad that could come loose and get lodged in the interior trim.

Tesla began delivering the Blade Runner-inspired truck in November 2023 after years of delay and a difficult production ramp-up that Musk described as Tesla digging its own grave.
