  • Tesla has issued its sixth recall of the year for the Cybertruck due to a faulty part that may cause a loss of power to the wheels.
  • The recall affects Cybertrucks built between Nov. 6, 2023, and July 30, 2024, and includes over 2,400 vehicles.
  • Tesla will replace the affected part free of charge, and no collisions, fatalities, or injuries have been reported in connection with the defect.

Tesla has issued a recall on over 2,400 Cybertrucks caused by a faulty part that may cause a loss of power to the wheels − the sixth recall issued this year for the showpiece car of the brand helmed by tech baron Elon Musk.

The recall, published by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration on Nov. 5, applies to Cybertrucks built between Nov. 6, 2023 to July 30, 2024. Tesla said in its recall notice that it is unaware of any collisions, fatalities or injuries that are related to the recalled trucks.

Last month Tesla issued a recall for over 27,000 trucks due to a rearview camera that may fail to display. The electric car giant also issued two recalls in June to fix faulty windshield wipers and loose trunk bed trim. In April, the company issued a recall for a faulty accelerator pad.

Cybertruck recall details

The recall affects Cybertrucks outfitted with metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistors in the drive inverter, according to Tesla's announcement.

When the inverter fails, a driver may not be able to utilize the accelerator pedal to keep the car in motion. Tesla said that when the issue occurs the driver receives a warning on the car's display.

The company said it will replace the affected part on recalled Cybertrucks at no charge.
