Every Tesla Cybertruck Recalled
Tesla is recalling every Cybertruck ever made due to an issue with the windshield wiper.
Specifically, some trucks may have a defective wiper motor that could prevent the wiper blade from functioning properly, obviously posing a problem during rain. The recall affects all 11,688 Cybertrucks in the wild, with Tesla estimating around two percent of these vehicles may have the defect. This recall follows a pause in customer deliveries earlier this month.
The potential problem was first identified in early February when Tesla Service reported wiper motor failures on some Cybertrucks. The company analyzed 20 failed motors and discovered that a routine functionality test at one of their suppliers had inadvertently applied excessive current to the component, damaging the motor’s circuit board.
Tesla has stated that there have been no reports of collisions, injuries, or deaths related to this issue. The company will replace the faulty wiper motor free of charge.
In addition to the wiper motor issue, many of the trucks will also be inspected for a potential problem with their exterior bed trim. The sail appliqué along the bedside may not have been installed correctly and could become loose or detach from the vehicle. This second recall also impacts all 11,383 Cybertrucks. Tesla will replace or rework these parts to ensure they meet the correct specifications.
