For Tesla's futuristic new Cybertruck, a fourth recall
What specific issues prompted Tesla's Cybertruck recall?
Tesla's Cybertruck recall was prompted by two specific issues: front windshield wipers that can fail due to the wiper motor controller receiving too much electrical current, and trim pieces along the truck bed that can come loose and potentially detach from the vehicle while driving4. These recalls affect more than 11,000 trucks and aim to mitigate potential risks associated with reduced visibility and road hazards for other motorists.
What problem is associated with the Cybertruck's windshield wiper motor?
The Cybertruck's windshield wiper motor recall is due to a potential electrical overstress issue with the gate driver component, which may cause the motor to stop functioning. This could reduce visibility during certain operating conditions, increasing the risk of a collision6. Tesla is not aware of any accidents, injuries, or deaths related to this issue.
How many Cybertrucks are affected by the latest recalls?
The latest recalls affect more than 11,000 Tesla Cybertrucks, according to documents posted by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration6.
