Tesla’s Cybertruck recalled for a fourth time over parts issues
Elon Musk's Tesla is recalling its new Cybertruck for the fourth time to fix trim pieces that can come loose and front windshield wipers that can fail.
DETROIT (AP) — Tesla is recalling its futuristic new Cybertruck pickup for the fourth time in the U.S. to fix problems with trim pieces that can come loose and front windshield wipers that can fail.
The new recalls, announced in documents posted Tuesday by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, each affect more than 11,000 trucks.
The company says in the documents that the front windshield wiper motor controller can stop working because it’s getting too much electrical current. A wiper that fails can cut visibility, increasing the risk of a crash. The Austin, Texas, company says it knows of no crashes or injuries caused by the problem.
Tesla will replace the wiper motor at no cost to owners, who will be notified by letter on Aug. 18.
In the other recall, a trim piece along the truck bed can come loose and fly off, creating a hazard for other motorists.
