Tesla’s Cybertruck racks up fifth recall in under a year

Tesla’s 2024 Cybertrucks have been on the road for less than a year and they’ve already been recalled five times, as of Thursday. 

This time, it’s because the rearview camera image may be delayed by two seconds after shifting into reverse, and the display may appear blank for up to eight seconds when the vehicle is in reverse, according to a report Tesla shared with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. 

Around 27,185 Cybertrucks are potentially impacted. Tesla has already released an over-the-air software update to Cybertruck owners. 

The news comes four months after a June recall to fix potentially loose trim pieces and defected windshield wipers. In April, some Cybertrucks were recalled due to a sticky accelerator pedal. 

Tesla launched the steel-clad, sci-fi looking Cybertruck in November 2023 to refresh its lineup. The automaker last introduced the Model Y five years ago.
