Tesla has issued two voluntary recalls for the Cybertruck, both requiring physical servicing.
Wiper Motor Recall
The first recall is concerning the wiper motor, which has a build defect. Approximately 2% of delivered trucks (11,688 vehicles) have a malfunctioning gate driver component and will require a replacement. The full assembly will be replaced.
We’re expecting this replacement to be fixable by a Mobile Service Technician, as the refit of the motor assembly should be doable by just one individual, as per the Cybertruck Service Manual.

Sail Trim Recall
The Cybertruck’s unique sails (the triangular panel that connects the top of the truck to the back of the truck bed) have some uniquely attached trim pieces – and some of them are reportedly failing. Tesla has issued a recall for these sail trim pieces as well, which can become detached at speed due to wind catching the front edge of the trim piece, and lifting it away.
Tesla will replace or rework the cosmetic trim piece along the exterior of the sails, to ensure sufficient adhesion. This will include the application of a new adhesion promotor and pressure-sensitive tape.
We’re expecting this replacement to also be fixable by a Mobile Service Technician, as some Cybertruck owners on X have previously had the same issue fixed by mobile service.
