Tesla has announced a recall of 11,688 Cybertruck electric pickup trucks due to safety concerns related to windshield wiper and trunk bed trim issues. According to the U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), the front windshield wiper motor controller may fail due to excessive electrical current, potentially reducing visibility and increasing the risk of a crash.
In a separate notice, Tesla is also recalling 11,383 Cybertruck vehicles where the trim in the trunk bed could have been improperly attached. This defect could cause the trim to become loose, posing a road hazard for vehicles following behind.
Tesla's service team will address these issues by replacing the wiper motor and applying necessary adhesives or replacing the trim in affected vehicles at no cost to the owners.
The recalls follow a previous recall in April for nearly 4,000 Cybertrucks to fix an issue with the accelerator pedal pad. Tesla continues to work with regulators to ensure the safety and reliability of its vehicles amidst growing concerns over electric vehicle performance and safety.
