Tesla Recalls 6,197 Cybertrucks Over Light Bar Defect as TSLA Stock Dips
Tesla faces another setback with its Cybertruck as U.S. regulators mandate a recall of 6,197 vehicles due to faulty light bars that may detach. The defect poses road hazards, triggering a 0.36% pre-market drop in TSLA shares. This follows recent recalls for excessively bright parking lights—a flaw Tesla addressed via over-the-air updates.
The electric pickup's stainless-steel design continues to draw scrutiny amid production challenges. Analysts question whether persistent quality issues will erode confidence in Tesla's ability to scale its controversial truck model profitably.
Investor concerns compound after Q3 earnings disappointment and renewed debate over Elon Musk's compensation package. The automaker's response—offering free mechanical reinforcements or replacements—does little to assuage fears about execution risks in its niche vehicle lineup.
