Tesla has issued yet another recall of the Cybertruck.

As usual, Tesla is providing free upgrades and maintenance to Cybertrucks affected by this problem, but the number is hefty. 46,000 vehicles are said to be affected by this latest recall. It also comes after two other major recalls on the Cybertruck. The first was issued in April 2024 when it was discovered that the gas pedal cover could come loose and get stuck under the interior trim, leading to unintended acceleration. The second was issued in June 2024 in regards to an electrical issue that disabled the windshield wipers, which could be potentially disastrous in bad weather.
This latest Cybertruck recall also comes as Tesla (TSLA) stock has taken a nose dive, dropping around 40 percent of its value since the beginning of the year. As we watch for the latest details, stay tuned to the Tesla topic for more news and coverage.
