Tesla Recalls Over 46,000 Cybertrucks Due to Risk of Panel Detachment

The recall affects nearly all Cybertrucks sold in the U.S., citing a defect in the cant rail panel that could create road hazards.

The recall involves 46,096 Cybertrucks manufactured between November 2023 and February 2025, representing nearly all units sold to date.
The cant rail panel, a stainless-steel trim piece, is prone to detachment due to adhesive failure caused by environmental embrittlement.
Tesla will replace the affected panels free of charge, using stronger adhesive and mechanical reinforcement, with owner notifications starting May 19, 2025.
This is the eighth recall for the Cybertruck since its late 2023 launch, highlighting ongoing quality control challenges for Tesla.
The recall comes as Tesla faces declining demand, a 40% drop in stock value this year, and backlash over CEO Elon Musk's political involvement.
