Tesla Issues Sixth Recall for Cybertruck Over Drive Inverter Defect

Tesla has announced its sixth recall for the highly anticipated Cybertruck, raising concerns among customers and industry experts about the vehicle’s readiness and safety. 

This latest recall, involving the drive inverter, affects all units produced so far and emphasizes potential challenges in ramping up production while ensuring quality standards.

History Behind the Recall

The Cybertruck has faced multiple recalls since its initial deliveries began, each addressing a critical issue. This time, the defect centers around the drive inverter, a crucial component that converts electricity into power for the motors. According to Tesla, the fault may lead to power loss while driving, significantly increasing the risk of accidents. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) has flagged the defect as a serious safety hazard, prompting swift action.

Tesla has assured owners that no accidents or injuries related to this issue have been reported. The recall comes at a crucial time, with Tesla aiming to meet its aggressive production targets for the Cybertruck.

Which Models Are Affected?

All Tesla Cybertruck units delivered to date are included in this recall. Tesla did not disclose the exact number of vehicles affected, but given the vehicle’s limited production run so far, the recall likely impacts only early adopters of the futuristic EV.

What Owners Need to Do Next

Tesla has started notifying owners of affected vehicles and has promised a quick resolution. Cybertruck owners can schedule an appointment at a Tesla service center or, in some cases, receive over-the-air software updates to mitigate the issue. However, hardware replacements may still be required in some units, depending on the severity of the fault.

Owners can visit Tesla’s website or contact customer support for further details. It is advised to address the recall promptly to avoid potential safety risks.

How Tesla Owners Can Take Back Control

While recalls have been communicated to owners, many continue to be unhappy with the solutions provided by automakers. These problems have the potential to escalate into further action, just like this—underlining the importance of protecting consumer rights.
