Tesla Recalls 46,000 Cybertrucks Over Safety Risks from Detaching Body Parts

The recall halts Cybertruck deliveries as Tesla addresses the defect with new fastening methods.

Tesla has recalled approximately 46,000 Cybertrucks in the U.S. due to a defect causing body parts above the doors to detach, posing accident risks.
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) has warned of increased safety hazards from the detaching parts.
Tesla has temporarily paused Cybertruck deliveries to implement fixes, including replacing adhesive with screws for better fastening.
This marks the eighth recall for the Cybertruck, which has faced repeated quality issues since its production began in late 2023.
Tesla vehicles accounted for 21% of all U.S. recalls in the first three quarters of 2024, highlighting ongoing challenges in quality control.
