LISTEN: Tesla's Cybertrucks Recalled After Shedding Pieces on the Road

Eric Sorensen

Tesla Cybertrucks have run into a spot of trouble, a defect that has forced the automaker to recall every truck it's ever sold. Luckily, that is only 46,096 vehicles, but unfortunately this one can't be fixed with an over-the-air update. 

The EV maker recently received several reports of pieces of the roof falling off while the vehicle was on the road. Specifically, the cant rail, the bit of electrocoated stainless steel trim above the doors that runs from the base of the windshield to the back door. Tesla says its part of the Cybertruck's "cosmetic applique" and, according to the recall, the assembly is affixed to the vehicle with fasteners. The panel is delaminating at the adhesive joint, causing it to separate from the vehicle.
