Got a Tesla Cybertruck? Well, buckle up mate, 'cause it looks like they ain't as indestructible as they appear. Tesla is pulling tens of thousands of these bad boys off the road stateside to patch up a problem, where some body parts literally fall off while you're cruising down the highway.
That's right, ol' Blue Space X is recalling around 46,000 Cybertrucks in the US. The culprit? A pesky piece of the bodywork, situated above the door on the side, that's liable to come unstuck. The impacted vehicles hail from the 2024 and 2025 model years, y'know, the ones assembled between November 13, 2023, and February 27, 2025.
So, what's the deal with this detachable doo-dad? The safety ninjas at the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) have deemed it a contributing factor to increased accident risk, although they haven't reported a single mishap quite yet.
This ain't the first time Tesla's had to yank a few Cybertrucks off the road. Gremlins in the display, rogue gas pedals, and lousy windshield wipers have all been sorted out. Fun fact: BizzyCar, the recall guru, claims Tesla's vehicles are disproportionately recalled compared to the competition, with 21% of the recalls in the US happening in Tesla's backyard over the first three quarters of 2024. Most of these snags could be squashed with a simple software update.
