Tesla recalls nearly all of its Cybertrucks yet again

Imagine recalling a supposedly tough truck so many times that we've ran out of headlines to highlight it. Tesla Cybertruck has been recalled for the eighth time, with several of those recalls being for nearly every Cybertruck that's ever been sold.

Again, this is not one of those software recalls that can easily be fixed with a firmware update. According to a new notice by the U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), Tesla is recalling all Model Year 2024 and 2025 Cybertrucks (that's the vast majority of them, given that serial production in a very limited capacity started in November 2023).

The reason given, this time, is the cant rail: "an assembly comprised of an electrocoated steel stamping joined to a stainless steel panel with structural adhesive." According to the NHTSA, "The cant rail stainless steel panel may delaminate at the adhesive joint, which may cause the panel to separate from the vehicle." That, in turn, can create a road hazard for drivers behind a Cybertruck (as if having to watch the thing drive isn't punishment enough).

This is the same issue that we've covered a week ago, as it apparently caused Cybertruck deliveries to stop.

Because of this issue, Cybertruck owners are invited to visit a Tesla service center where the cant rail assembly will be replaced, free of charge.
