"The most I've ever heard of a car being recalled is probably 2014 Jeep Cherokee, or the 2021 Chevy Silverado. Both cars (if I'm not mistaken), were famous for hitting as many as 7-9 recalls, but Tesla 's Cybertruck is cruising past that number with its 12th recall since the car began rolling out to customers in November 2023. Issued just today, this latest round of recalls affects 6,197 vehicles, about 10 percent of all Cybertrucks sold."
"The problem? A Light Bar accessory that sits on the top of the car. Although optional, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is warning drivers that this off-road accessory (officially sold by Tesla) could detach and fall off, creating a road hazard for other drivers. The culprit? Weak glue. I have to preface that a recall doesn't imply a car is 'bad', it usually involves points of failures that can make driving dangerous if unchecked."
"In just under 2 years, the Cybertruck's faced problems with the motor controlling the windshield wiper, the exterior stainless steel sheet literally peeling off because of weak glue, errors within the Tire Pressure Monitoring System, software and firmware issues, interior trim parts affecting the accelerator pedal, the headlights being too bright, the light bar accessory having faulty lighting, and even the bar itself not being glued on properly."
Tesla's Cybertruck has undergone twelve recalls since customer deliveries began in November 2023. The latest recall affects 6,197 vehicles—about 10 percent of all Cybertrucks sold—and targets an optional roof-mounted Light Bar that can detach due to weak adhesive. Recalls have ranged from benign software fixes for headlights to severe safety issues such as a stuck accelerator pedal. Other reported problems include windshield wiper motor failures, stainless-steel exterior panels peeling, tire-pressure monitoring errors, firmware and interior trim faults, faulty lighting, and rust accumulating on exterior panels. Recalls indicate specific safety or compliance failures that require corrective action.
