Tesla Recalls Every Cybertruck Due to Faulty Stainless Steel Trim
Alright, folks, let’s talk about something making waves in the EV world—Tesla’s massive recall of the Cybertruck. If you own one of these futuristic-looking beasts, brace yourself because every single unit sold is being recalled. Yes, you heard that right—every single one.
So, what’s the issue? Well, it turns out that the stainless steel trim on the Cybertruck isn’t staying where it should. Specifically, the cant rail panel, which runs from the base of the windshield to the rear doors along the roof, is coming loose. The problem? A faulty adhesive. Tesla initially used a structural adhesive to secure the trim, but it turns out that this glue doesn’t hold up well in different environmental conditions. Over time, it becomes brittle, leading to the trim panel detaching—sometimes while driving. And let’s be real, nobody wants to see their Cybertruck shedding parts like a snake losing its skin on the highway.

The issue was first flagged in January 2025 when Tesla’s routine review of field repairs uncovered a complaint about the component partially delaminating. Since then, at least 151 Cybertruck owners have filed warranty claims for the same problem. After looking into it further, Tesla determined that approximately 1% of the affected trucks—around 46,096 units—could have this defect. Given the risk, they’ve decided to recall every single one to prevent any potential hazards.
Unfortunately, this isn’t one of those problems Tesla can fix with a quick over-the-air software update. Owners will have to bring their trucks into a Tesla service center, where the old adhesive will be replaced with a more durable version. To reinforce the fix, Tesla is also welding a stud onto the panel and securing it with a nut to ensure it stays in place.
This recall is just the latest in a growing list of issues for the Cybertruck. Since deliveries started in 2023, the vehicle has been recalled eight times, though most previous recalls were software-related and didn’t require in-person visits. Other past issues have included loose bed trim and even loss of drive power—certainly not what owners expect from a high-end, cutting-edge electric truck.
Tesla plans to start rolling out the fix around March 21, 2025. Any unsold trucks still in Tesla’s inventory will be retrofitted before they’re delivered to customers. But if you already have a Cybertruck in your driveway, expect to hear from Tesla soon about scheduling your recall appointment.
It’s no secret that the Cybertruck has been a polarizing vehicle since its debut, with its bold design and unconventional features. But with an increasing number of recalls stacking up, it’s raising questions about Tesla’s quality control on this highly anticipated truck. Whether this is just a minor hiccup in an otherwise innovative vehicle or a sign of deeper issues remains to be seen. One thing’s for sure—Tesla’s got some work to do to keep Cybertruck owners confident in their investment.
