No automotive brand is exempt from recalls, and both Ford and Chrysler have experienced them. Nonetheless, it’s particularly disheartening when a vehicle such as Tesla’s Cybertruck, advertised as a durable, stainless steel powerhouse designed to endure various forms of stress, encounters yet another recall. And then another. And yet another.
The most recent recall pertains to a problem with the Cybertruck’s inverter, which may lead to the vehicle losing its ability to apply torque through the accelerator pedal, potentially resulting in a loss of movement and heightening the risk of an accident. This issue affects Cybertrucks manufactured between November 6, 2023, and July 30, 2024, or those outfitted with particular metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistors (MOSFET) in the drive inverter. A total of 2,431 vehicles are affected.
According to our tally, this represents the sixth recall for the Cybertruck, a noteworthy number considering the vehicle has only been available for roughly a year. In contrast to some earlier recalls that could be resolved with a straightforward software update, this particular issue necessitates owners to arrange a service appointment. The resolution involves replacing the defective inverter with one that has a properly functioning MOSFET component, a procedure anticipated to take around three hours.
