Tesla recalled more than 46,000 cybertrucks due to bad adhesive
Tesla is facing great problems again. Due to a production error, Tesla decided to recall all Cybertrucks already delivered. Reason? There is a danger that the outer plate is torn down and endangered by other road users, reporting San Francisco Chronicle.
The recall includes 46,096 vehicles manufactured between November 2023 and February 2025, which means that every Cybertruck owner will have to carry out a service and repair.

Tesla found that the adhesive can eventually weaken and peel the plate, especially with the bad weather, writes Wall Street Journal.
The National Road Safety Administration (NHTSA) warned in its assessment that drivers can hear certain sounds before falling in the board, and when looking at the vehicle, they can notice how the upper lining of the vehicle begins to peel off, states Nhtsa.
