The American manufacturer Tesla, a specialist in electric vehicles, removes more than 46,000 cyber -cyber -cyber -cyber -cyber, of which it is likely that body panels are probable due to the failure of the glue used, announced on Thursday the American Road Safety Agency (NHTSA).
“The reinforcement, an outdoor dressing composed of stainless steel panels, can take off and separate from the vehicle,” said the organization, stating that the Elon Musk billionaire group was going to replace the defective equipment for free.
The 46,096 concerned with this retirement were manufactured between November 2023, when Cybertruck’s commercial production began with the futuristic silhouette, and on February 27, 2025. The manufacturer was alerted to a possible problem on January 7.
After the investigation, he concluded that the adhesive used to fix this stainless steel cover would probably weaken by external environmental elements. It will be replaced by a less sensitive adhesive, reinforced by a welded stimulus in the internal part of the steel panels and riveted to the structure of the vehicle.
“Danger on the way”
If the panels stand out while the vehicle circulates, “this can represent a danger on the road to motorists and increase the risk of injuries or accidents,” says the NHTSA. A partially separate panel can also produce detectable noise in the passenger compartment, continues.
As of March 14, Tesla had received 151 requests for guarantee coverage linked to this problem, but was not aware of any accident, death or injuries caused by this detachment.
The new process must be integrated into the assembly chain around March 21, and all vehicles produced but not yet delivered will be readjusted before being delivered to their owners, adds the NHTSSA.
The vehicle has already been the subject of several reminders. One of them, in June 2024, was referring to the driver of the car transported Skip, which would probably be separated. In November 2024, the lack of a mechanical part that could cause loss of energy for wheels was reported.
