WASHINGTON - Tesla is recalling more than 6,000 Cybertrucks over a loose off-road light bar that could detach while driving, creating a potential safety hazard. The recall, issued by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration on October 27, covers 6,197 Cybertrucks manufactured between November 13, 2023, and November 5, 2024. The light bar, an accessory mounted on the roof to enhance visibility off-road, may have been installed with the wrong adhesive, increasing the risk of it falling off during use. The recall is listed under number SB-25-90-001.
The affected light bars were installed only on the Tesla Foundation Series Cyberbeast version of the Cybertruck, though owners had to connect the lights to the electrical system themselves. Tesla notes that the accessory is intended solely for off-road use and can produce noise or feel loose in the cabin if improperly mounted. The company has received 614 warranty claims and one field report regarding the faulty installation, but no injuries or accidents have been reported. Owners can have their light bars inspected and, if needed, replaced free of charge, with Tesla set to begin mailing recall notifications on December 26. This recall follows a recent larger recall affecting more than 63,000 Cybertrucks for excessively bright front lights and comes amid ongoing federal scrutiny of Tesla’s self-driving technology.
