The latest panel issue means that Tesla’s Cybertruck has now been recalled eight times since its launch
Since its release last December, the pickup has been blighted by callbacks, with another this week due to an exterior panel that could detach while driving. Per a report filed with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, the “recall population includes all Model Year (“MY”) 2024 and 2025 Cybertruck vehicles manufactured from November 13, 2023, to February 27, 2025.” It’s the vehicle’s fifth physical recall and eighth overall in the ~16 months since it started getting delivered.
The company’s bimonthly callbacks have become one of the few broad indicators of how many Cybertrucks have been sold, given that Tesla doesn’t separate by models when announcing vehicle sales data. So far, the 46,096 trucks affected by this latest recall show that the automaker still has a long way to go if it ever wants to deliver on CEO Elon Musk’s hopes to sell up to 500,000 per year.
Tesla’s shares remained largely unchanged in premarket trading.
