Tesla said on Thursday that they would recall almost all the Cybertrucks they produced to repair a stainless steel control panel that the car manufacturer said could be separated from the car when driving. It was the eighth recovery for a special electric pickup, attacking US lines just over two years ago.
Unlike many others TeslaHowever, the recovery related to relevant, this one cannot be repaired with an air software update and must be taken to a service center for repair. The recovery affects more than 46,000 Cybertrucks produced from November 2023 to the end of February 2025.
The recovery is related to a cosmetic cake on the outside of the car, attached to the rest of the truck with a glue submit application Published by the National Traffic Safety Management Agency, the US Road Safety Management Agency. On Cybertrucks affected, the adhesive substance can be separated from the rest of the truck, creating a danger on the road that may occur for others and increase the risk of problems.
First decoration complaints are bubbling in post on social media; Tesla reported Helps produce cybertruck last week. Tesla said in the file that they started investigating the problem in early January. The application said that Tesla would correct the problem with another type of adhesive that was not easily arrested.
Dale Harrow, president and director of the smart mobile design center at Royal College of Art London, labeled this latest glue to Cybertruck as a surprising thing.
The glue is used more than people think in building the body of the car these days, he said. Instead of having a mechanical correction, weld or a screw or a buzzer, it is very effective to paste the sheets for lighter construction. It becomes very popular. Jaguar, Lexus, Audi, they will use glue at some point.
There are many glue that the automotive industry uses for bonding tables and parts together, Harrow said, adding that different adhesives are used depending on the power of the necessary bonds, specific circumstances and related materials. However, the difference with Cybertruck with other vehicles is that the use of stainless steel is very unique to its panels.
Stainless steel is a big difference, “Harrow said.
“I can speculate that something on the production line is not completely linked at the right temperature or receives the right UV insurance? And maybe it is due to stainless steel that is different from the standard steel. It is not a small company.
