The US National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) has recalled over 46,000 Tesla Cybertrucks due to a safety issue with an exterior panel that can detach while driving, posing a risk of crash. The recall covers all 2024 and 2025 model years manufactured between November 13, 2023, and February 27, 2025.
The problem lies with the cant rail assembly, a stainless steel strip binding the windshield to the roof on both sides. If this assembly becomes detached while driving, it can create a hazardous road condition for other drivers. Tesla will replace the panel free of charge.
This is the eighth recall for Tesla-made vehicles since deliveries began over a year ago. The company has faced increasing competition from rival electric vehicles and has struggled with sales. Despite this, shares have plummeted 42% in 2025 due to the recent downturn in the global market.
Cybertruck owners can contact Tesla customer service at 1-877-798-3752 or visit nhtsa.gov for more information on the recall.
