Buying a used 2024 Tesla Cybertruck? Check these 11 recalls first
Ten recalls on a single first-year model stand out, including two critical ones: an accelerator pedal that can stick down and wheel studs that can crack and break off. Others cover parts coming loose — bed trim and two separate light bar campaigns — plus an inverter fault that can cut drive power. NHTSA lists 170 unverified complaints with 22 crashes, 2 fires and 19 injuries, led by electrical system and structure reports.
Before you buy
- Get the 17-character VIN from the seller and run it at nhtsa.gov/recalls. It shows which recalls are still unrepaired on that exact car.
- Pull the VIN recall status and confirm the accelerator pedal and wheel stud repairs were both completed.
- Inspect the bed trim, light bar and any accessory light bar for secure mounting, and ask if any trim has been reattached.
- Ask whether the truck has ever lost drive power, and test the wipers and backup camera delay on the drive.
- Open recalls are repaired free at any Tesla dealer, whoever owns the car — an open recall is a to-do item, not a bill.
