Regulators recall nearly all Tesla cybertrucks over safety concerns

US safety regulators have recalled virtually all Cybertrucks on the road, the eighth recall of the Tesla-made vehicles since deliveries to customers began just over a year ago. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration's recall, which covers more than 46,000 Cybertrucks, warned that an exterior panel that runs along the left and right side of the windshield can detach while driving, creating a dangerous road hazard for other drivers, increasing the risk of a crash. The stainless-steel strip, called a cant rail assembly, between the windshield and the roof on both sides, is bound to the truck's assembly with a structural adhesive, the NHTSA report said. The remedy uses an adhesive that's not been found to be vulnerable to environmental embrittlement, the NHTSA said, and includes additional reinforcements. Tesla will replace the panel free of charge. Owner notification letters are expected to be mailed May 19, 2025. The recall of 46,096 Cybertrucks covers all 2024 and 2025 .
