Tesla recalls Cybertrucks over fly-away trims 

Austin, TX – April 3, 2025 – Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA) is recalling 46,096 2024-2025 Tesla Cybertruck pickups over a piece of trim that may fall off while driving. This would create road debris for the other motorists, increasing the risk of a crash and injury. 

Recall summary  

The Cybertruck has a cosmetic trim on the side of the vehicle –  known as a cant rail – which frames the front and rear doors. The trim was not attached correctly to the affected vehicles and may separate.

Recall risks

A trim that falls off while driving may land on the road, creating an obstacle for the other motorists, who may crash while trying to avoid it. 

Warning signs

A loose trim could create noise while driving. The owners might also notice it is not fitted correctly against the vehicle’s body. 

Other Tesla recalls

In September 2024, Model X SUVs were recalled because their roof trims could fall off while driving, as reported.  

In January 2025, Tesla recalled several models over an issue with rearview cameras, also as reported.

On a separate note, Tesla is currently being investigated by the U.S. government after one of its self-driving vehicles killed a pedestrian

Tesla recalls Cybertruck over unintended acceleration

Austin, TX – May 2, 2024 – Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA) is recalling 3,878 2024 Tesla Cybertrucks that may unexpectedly accelerate, upping the risk of crash and injury.

Recall summary

The accelerator pedal in the affected trucks has a rubber pad on its end, whose job is to provide sufficient grip for the driver’s foot. Due to a supplier error, the pad may slip and get stuck in the interior trim, pinning the accelerator pedal to the floor.    

Recall risks

All risks posed by unintended acceleration are described in this recent Hyundai recall

Warning signs

The driver may notice the accelerator is less responsive.

Separately, if the brake is pressed while the accelerator is jammed, there will be a warning message on the display accompanied by an audible alert. 

Safety tips

If the accelerator jams, press the brake as you normally would. This will cut the power to the wheels and stop the vehicle. 

Other Tesla recalls

Some of these Tesla Cybertrucks may have been affected by a recall from February of this year, which was caused by insufficiently visible warning messages on their display.  

On a separate note, the U.S. government is currently investigating alleged steering loss in Tesla Model 3 and Model Y cars, as reported. 

The repair

Dealers will inspect the accelerator pedal and repair or replace it with an updated version. The repair will be free of charge. 

Owners will be notified on June 18, 2024.
