Tesla Announced A New Recall For 6,197 Units Of The 2024 Electric Cybertruck In The US After Identifying A Risk Of Headlight Fall Due To Incorrect Use Of Glue On The Windshield Light Bars
Tesla announced a new recall for the electric Cybertruck in the United States, due to a defect that may cause the headlights to fall. According to a statement from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), the issue affects 6,197 units of the 2024 model.
The failure was caused by the incorrect use of a type of glue in securing the windshield light bars. The concern is that if these bars detach, they could put other drivers at risk on the road.
Free Repairs For Owners
The manufacturer stated that it will inspect and reinforce the affected parts. If necessary, the bars will be replaced and additional mechanical supports will be installed.

This is yet another corrective action by Tesla, which is trying to maintain consumer trust, especially after a series of technical failures.
Problems Repeat In The Futuristic Pickup
In the previous week, another recall affected over 63,000 units of the Cybertruck. In this case, the defect was a software error that made the front lights excessively bright, impairing visibility and safety in traffic.
The problem was fixed with a remote update, eliminating the need for vehicles to go to dealerships.
Six Recalls In A Single Year
Since its launch, Elon Musk’s futuristic pickup has already faced at least six recalls. The number is concerning, as the model is still new to the market.
