Tesla has issued its sixth recall of the year for the Cybertruck, this time due to a defective part that could result in a loss of power to the wheels. The recall affects over 2,400 vehicles, specifically Cybertrucks built between November 6, 2023, and July 30, 2024.
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) posted the recall notice on November 5. Tesla confirmed that no injuries, fatalities, or accidents have been reported as a result of the defect.
This recall follows a series of others for the company in recent months. Last month, Tesla recalled more than 27,000 vehicles due to a potential failure of the rearview camera. In June, two separate recalls were issued—one for faulty windshield wipers and another for loose trunk bed trim. Earlier this year, in April, the company addressed an issue with a defective accelerator pedal.
Details of the Cybertruck Recall
The recall pertains to Cybertrucks equipped with metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistors in the drive inverter, which Tesla identified as the faulty part. If the inverter fails, the vehicle may lose the ability to accelerate, leaving the car unable to move despite the driver pressing the accelerator pedal. Tesla notes that when the issue occurs, drivers will receive a warning on the vehicle’s display.
Tesla will replace the defective parts in the affected vehicles free of charge.
