Tesla Cybertruck Off-Road Light Bar May Detach low
Some Cybertrucks with a service-installed off-road light bar accessory may have been assembled using the wrong surface primer to attach the light bar to the windshield. Because the wrong primer was used, the light bar can loosen and come loose from the windshield.
Tesla Cybertruck Front Parking Lights Too Bright low
Certain 2024 to 2026 Cybertruck vehicles running software older than a specific version may have front parking lights that shine brighter than what safety rules allow. When these lights are too bright, they can make it harder for other drivers on the road to see clearly, which raises the chance of a crash. This happens because of how the vehicle's software controls the parking lights on these trucks.
Tesla Cybertruck Light Bar Can Detach medium
On certain Cybertrucks, the light bar can come loose and separate from the vehicle. Once detached, it can end up in the road as a hazard for other drivers.
Tesla Cybertruck, Model 3, Model Y tire pressure warning light fault medium
Tesla is recalling certain Cybertruck, Model 3 and Model Y vehicles. The warning light for the tire pressure monitoring system may not stay lit from one drive to the next. When that happens, the system does not warn the driver that a tire is low on air. Because of this, these vehicles do not meet the federal rules for tire pressure monitoring systems. Tesla has already released a software update that fixes it.
Tesla Cybertruck Drive Inverter Fault Cuts Power high
Tesla is recalling certain 2024 Cybertruck vehicles because a fault in the drive inverter may cause a loss of drive power to the wheels, meaning the vehicle may stop being able to move under its own power. Tesla service will replace the drive inverter to fix the problem. Owner notification letters about this recall have already been mailed to affected owners, and the repair will be done free of charge.
Tesla Cybertruck Rearview Camera Image May Be Delayed low
Tesla is recalling certain 2024 Cybertruck vehicles because the rearview camera image may be delayed after the driver shifts into reverse. A delayed image gives the driver less view of what's behind the vehicle when backing up, which the notice says increases the risk of a crash.
Tesla Cybertruck Windshield Wiper Motor May Fail high
Too much electrical current can build up in the front windshield wiper system and cause the wiper motor controller to stop working. When the wiper motor controller fails, the windshield wipers may stop working. Without working wipers, it can be harder for the driver to see the road clearly, which increases the risk of a crash. To fix this, Tesla will replace the wiper motor free of charge.
Tesla Cybertruck Trim Applique May Come Loose low
Some Tesla Cybertruck vehicles have a trim piece on the trunk bed, called the sail applique, that may not have been glued on properly during assembly. Because the adhesive was not applied the right way, this trim piece can gradually loosen over time. If it loosens enough, the piece can detach and come off the vehicle completely, since it is only held on with adhesive.
Tesla Cybertruck Accelerator Pedal Can Get Trapped high
The pad on the accelerator pedal may come loose and get caught by the interior trim. If that happens, the pedal can become trapped, which can cause the vehicle to accelerate without the driver intending it.
Tesla Model 3 and Cybertruck warning lights too small medium
Tesla is recalling certain Model S, Model X, Model 3, Model Y and Cybertruck vehicles. The Brake, Park and Antilock Braking System warning lights on the instrument panel are shown in the wrong font size, smaller than it should be. Because of this, these vehicles do not meet the federal safety standards for hydraulic, electric and light vehicle brake systems. Tesla has begun sending out a free over-the-air software update to fix the display.

How do I check whether my Tesla Cybertruck has an open recall?
