Tesla has issued its sixth recall of the year for the Cybertruck, affecting over 2,400 vehicles due to a faulty component that could cause a loss of power to the wheels. The recall targets Cybertrucks manufactured between November 6, 2023, and July 30, 2024.
The recall, announced by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) on November 5, covers vehicles with an issue in the drive inverter. Tesla has confirmed that no accidents, injuries, or fatalities have been reported as a result of the defect.
This recall comes after several others in 2024. In October, Tesla recalled more than 27,000 vehicles due to a potential failure of the rearview camera. Earlier in the year, two separate recalls in June addressed problems with windshield wipers and loose trunk bed trim. In April, another recall was issued for faulty accelerator pads.
Details of the Cybertruck Recall
The issue centers on a metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistor in the Cybertruck’s drive inverter. If this part fails, the vehicle may lose the ability to accelerate, with the driver unable to move the vehicle forward despite pressing the accelerator. When the problem occurs, the driver will see a warning on the dashboard display.
Tesla has stated that it will replace the faulty parts free of charge for all affected Cybertruck owners.
