Tesla Recalls 6,200 Cybertrucks Over Detachable Light Bar Issue
Tesla has issued a recall for 6,200 Cybertrucks in the U.S. following a National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) directive. The recall addresses a potential hazard involving the vehicle's off-road light bar, which may detach while driving, posing risks to trailing vehicles. No crashes, injuries, or fatalities have been linked to the defect.
The affected units are a subset of Cybertrucks equipped with the accessory light bar, though specific production dates or VIN ranges remain undisclosed. Tesla plans to notify owners by mail and offer free remedies, ranging from mechanical reinforcements to full replacements at service centers.
This marks Tesla's second Cybertruck recall in days, following an earlier action involving 63,000 vehicles with non-compliant front parking lights that risked blinding oncoming drivers. Owners can check recall status via NHTSA's website or the Tesla app.
