Cybertruck Recalls Hit Double Figures. For This Latest One, Blame the Glue
Tesla is recalling 6,197 Cybertrucks due to off-road light bars that may detach from incorrect adhesive use, affecting about 10% of all Cybertrucks sold, the NHTSA said.
- This month, Tesla and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration recalled 6,197 Tesla Cybertrucks for an off‑road light bar that may detach.
- Company documents point to an incorrect surface primer used to attach the off‑road light bar accessory, while earlier this year Wired reported Tesla’s repeated use of the wrong glue on stainless‑steel exterior panels.
- The safety filing directs Tesla to inspect the off‑road light bar accessory and install an additional mechanical attachment or replace it using adhesive tape free of charge to prevent road hazards and crash risks, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration said.
- Tesla said owners will get a mailed notification about the recall sometime after Dec. 26 and it is unaware of any collisions, fatalities, or injuries; owners can contact Tesla customer service at 1-877-798-3752.
- This trend of recalls — seven in 2024 and three in 2025 — continues with this action, and the Cybertruck has faced 10 recalls so far, according to NHTSA records.
