US safety regulators on Thursday recalled virtually all Cybertrucks on the road, the eighth recall of the Tesla-made vehicles since deliveries to customers began just over a year ago.
\nThe National Highway Traffic Safety Administration\u2019s recall, which covers more than 46,000 Cybertrucks, warned that an exterior panel that runs along the left and right side of the windshield can detach while driving, creating a dangerous road hazard for other drivers, increasing the risk of a crash.
\nThe stainless steel strip, called a cant rail assembly, between the windshield and the roof on both sides, is bound to the truck\u2019s assembly with a structural adhesive, the NHTSA report said. The remedy uses an adhesive that\u2019s not been found to be vulnerable to \u201cenvironmental embrittlement,\u201d the NHTSA said, and includes additional reinforcements.
\nTesla will replace the panel free of charge. Owner notification letters are expected to be mailed May 19, 2025.
\nThe recall of 46,096 Cybertrucks covers all 2024 and 2025 model years, manufactured from November 13, 2023, to February 27, 2025. The NHTSA order says that Tesla became aware of the problem early this year.
\nVideos posted on social media showing people ripping the panels off of Cybertrucks with their hands have gone viral in recent days.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
