Tesla, the electric car company owned by Elon Musk, is recalling most of its Cybertrucks due to an exterior panel that can fall off while driving ― posing a serious setback for a company whose shares already have been taking a nosedive.
Tesla announced the recall of more than 46,000 Cybertrucks in a filing with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. The recall applies to all vehicles built from November 2023 through Feb. 27 of this year ― accounting for nearly every Cybertruck in existence. In its filing, Tesla says that the cant rail, a stainless-steel exterior trim panel, can detach from the vehicle.
“A detached panel can become a road hazard, increasing the risk of a crash,” Tesla admitted in its NHTSA filing.
This is the eighth time Tesla has had to recall Cybertrucks, which have been on roads for less than a year and a half.
