All Tesla Cybertrucks recalled over glued-on trim panel

Marking yet another setback for the company, all Tesla Cybertrucks recalled over glued-on trim panel. This panel can fly off and create a road hazard.

The recall affects 46,096 Cybertrucks, which accounts for all the trucks the company has built so far.

In a statement, reported by Electrik.co, Tesla confirms the issue.

“The Cybertruck is equipped with a cosmetic applique along the exterior of the vehicle, known as the cant rail, which is an assembly comprised of an electrocoated steel stamping joined to a stainless steel panel with structural adhesive. The cant rail assembly is affixed to the vehicle with fasteners. On affected vehicles, the cant rail stainless steel panel may delaminate at the adhesive joint, which may cause the panel to separate from the vehicle.”

This thin piece of trim is above the doors and runs the length of the roof.

Tesla said it hasn’t confirmed any accidents or injuries as a result of this issue.

This is the 8th recall for the EV since it debuted on March 20, 2025.

Tesla stated in the recall numbered 25V170000, they will replace the cant rail assembly with a new one that will have a better adhesive assembly and a “stud welded to the stainless steel panel with a nut clamping the steel panel to the vehicle structure.” The remedy involves replacing the cant rail assembly with “one that meets durability testing requirements.”

Tesla service will replace the cant rail assembly, free of charge. Owner notification letters are expected to be mailed May 19, 2025. Owners may contact Tesla customer service at 1-877-798-3752. Tesla’s number for this recall is SB-25-10-001.
