Tesla Cybertruck Recalls Are Piling Up

Two additional recalls have been issued for the Tesla Cybertruck, deliveries of which began late last year, concerning a piece of trim and a windshield wiper motor.
Earlier this year the Cybertruck faced a recall for an accelerator pedal cover that could separate and become trapped, thereby applying force to the pedal.
Some owners have also reported a variety of other issues with the Cybertruck, not all of which are being addressed through recalls.
Even before Tesla began deliveries of the Cybertruck, it was clear that the electric pickup would be pushing the EV maker’s manufacturing methods to its limits, both due to its stainless steel skin and its unconventional design. The company’s CEO hinted as much.
But just over half a year after deliveries began, recalls involving the Cybertruck are seemingly piling up, just as owners continue to report various panel fit issues. And some of the recalls don’t have anything to do with the truck’s shape or choice of exterior materials.
Months after the Cybertruck saw a recall for an accelerator pedal assembly that could become dislodged and trapped in the interior trim just above the pedal, which could cause the truck to accelerate, the angular EV has become the subject of two additional recalls in a short span of time.
