Tesla is recalling its futuristic new Cybertruck pickup for the fourth time in the United States to address issues with trim parts that can come loose and front windshield wipers that can fail.
Tesla has recalled the stainless steel-clad Cybertruck four times since it went on sale on November 30.
The new recalls, announced in documents released Tuesday by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, each affect more than 11,000 trucks.
The company says in documents that the front wiper motor controller may stop working because it receives too much electrical current. A broken windshield wiper can reduce visibility, increasing the risk of an accident. The Austin, Texas, company says it is not aware of any accidents or injuries caused by this problem.
Tesla will replace the wiper motor at no cost to owners, who will be notified by letter on August 18.
In the other recall, a piece of trim along the truck bed may come loose and fly away, creating a hazard to other motorists.
Tesla states in the documents that the trim piece is installed with adhesive and that this may not have been done correctly at the factory.
The company will replace or rework the trim piece so that it stays in place. Owners will also be notified by letter on August 18.
