Tesla Cybertruck Recalled: 700,000 Vehicles Affected

Tesla Cybertruck Faces More Recalls

The Tesla Cybertruck, known for its futuristic design and impressive range, has regrettably been plagued ⁣by a⁢ series of ​recalls as⁣ its launch in November 2023. The latest recall,issued by the ​National Highway Traffic safety Administration (NHTSA) in October 2024,involves a potential issue with the tire pressure‍ monitoring system. Some owners have reported that the warning light may deactivate even when tires require inflation.this can lead to reduced steering control, increased stopping distances, and even the risk of‌ a high-speed tire blowout. This⁣ latest recall affects an estimated 700,000 Tesla vehicles, including Cybertrucks, Model 3⁣ hatchbacks, and model Y crossovers. It is unclear if ‌vehicles sold in the UK⁤ are also impacted. Tesla has assured customers that the issue can be resolved through an over-the-air software update, eliminating the need for a service ​visit.

A⁣ String of Recalls

The tire pressure monitoring system issue is just the latest in a string of recalls facing the Cybertruck. In April 2024, Tesla recalled over 3,800 Cybertrucks due to a potentially dangerous accelerator pedal problem that ⁣could cause the vehicle to become stuck at full speed. Furthermore, in October 2024, Tesla initiated another recall related ​to premature rusting on some Cybertrucks. These repeated recalls have raised concerns about the build quality ​and reliability of the highly anticipated electric pickup truck.

Limited⁣ Availability Outside the ‍US

Adding to its challenges, the Cybertruck is currently⁢ only available in the United States. Its substantial size and payload, exceeding 3.5 tonnes,⁢ present licensing hurdles for potential buyers in other countries, including the UK, where a specialized commercial license (Category B) would be​ required. There‌ are also‌ ongoing discussions regarding the Cybertruck’s safety for pedestrians. The vehicle’s stainless ‌steel body lacks traditional crumple zones, raising⁤ concerns about the severity of potential impacts in collisions.
