Tesla Cybertruck Safety Recalls Pile Up
» Posted November 21, 2025 • Resources | Share This Post
Some Tesla Cybertruck owners may be having second thoughts about their purchases.
The cars have been called back at least 10 times in the two years since they began hitting the road, Forbes reports. The most recent recall covers about 6,000 vehicles whose light bars are defective and may fall off, posing a safety hazard.
“On affected vehicles, the service-installed optional off-road light bar accessory may have been inadvertently attached to the windshield using the incorrect surface primer,” Tesla said in a notice posted on the automaker’s website. “If the service-installed optional off-road light bar accessory separates while the vehicle is in Drive, it could create a road hazard for following motorists and increase their risk of a collision.”
The recall covers certain Cybertrucks that were built between November 2023 and November 2024. Tesla told the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration that it plans to notify owners of recalled vehicles via mail by the end of December. In the meantime, owners can check NHTSA’s website to see if their cars are included in the recall.
Tesla will ask owners to bring their vehicles to authorized service providers for inspection and repair.
Other Cybertruck recalls range in severity, from too-bright lights to side paneling that could detach and windshield wipers that could fail. Last year, the company called back nearly 4,000 Cybertrucks whose gas pedals could get stuck while accelerating.
Tesla also continues to navigate the fallout surrounding fatal accidents involving cars engaged in Autopilot mode, the automaker’s controversial driver-assist technology.
California Lemon Law Rights for Cybertruck Drivers
Tesla has been among the most recalled brands in recent years, calling back Cybertrucks and other cars for a wide range of defects. While many of the issues can be addressed through software updates, the defects still pose serious safety risks. They often are not spotted until long after the vehicles are sold to unsuspecting buyers.
Fortunately, car owners and lessors in California do not need to wait around for recalls to get defective vehicles fixed. You have some valuable rights and protections under the state’s lemon law.
The lemon law, known formally as the Song-Beverly Consumer Warranty Act, generally requires auto manufacturers to perform repairs on vehicles while they are under warranty. It also forces carmakers to buy back vehicles that they are unable or simply refuse to fix. That means compensating the owner for the vehicle’s purchase price, along with financing charges, rental car costs, and other related expenses.
There is no specific number of repair requests or attempts that must occur before the buyback requirement kicks in. An experienced California lemon lawyer can help you understand your rights and take action.
