Tesla is recalling more than 46,000 of its Cybertrucks due to a cosmetic exterior trim panel that it said can “delaminate and detach from the vehicle,” potentially becoming a road hazard and “increasing the risk of a crash.”
The voluntary recall covers a part of the vehicle known as a cant rail and affects all Cybertrucks manufactured from November 2023 to February 2025, Tesla wrote in its filing to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration dated March 18.
Owners of affected vehicles can take their Cybertrucks to Tesla’s service department for free replacement of the cant rail, the company wrote.
Tesla’s value has dropped by around 40% year to date as CEO Elon Musk works as a top advisor to President Donald Trump and leads the administration’s job-slashing team known as the Department of Government Efficiency.
Waves of protests against Tesla and Musk have followed some of his political rhetoric and work in the Trump administration.
