Overview

  • Tesla has recalled 2,431 Cybertrucks built between November 2023 and July 2024 due to a faulty drive inverter.
  • The defect involves the inverter's MOSFET component, which can stop producing torque, increasing collision risk.
  • Tesla plans to replace the faulty inverters starting December 9, with repairs taking approximately three hours.
  • This recall is the sixth for the Cybertruck in 2024, following previous recalls for issues like accelerator pedals and windshield wipers.
  • Tesla has received five warranty claims related to the issue but reports no accidents or injuries.
