Over the last year there have been six Tesla Recalls. Many recalls can be handled via over-the-air software updates, but some require the automobile be physically fixed or upgraded by Tesla mechanics.
Tesla is addressing its most recent issues with Cybertruck battery packs through a large recall, according to reports from owner forums. Some owners have noted that their high-voltage batteries were replaced during routine maintenance, even when no issues had been reported.

Battery Replacement During Routine Maintenance
Owners of Cybertrucks manufactured between February and July have reported unexpected battery replacements during maintenance visits.
“I brought the Cybertruck in for the first time since delivery in February (VIN sub2000) for the standard recalls and a few minor issues, and they’ve added this [battery replacement] to the list,” said owner Matt Albers on the Tesla Cybertruck Facebook page.
Another owner shared a similar experience on the Cybertruck Owners Club forum, stating, “I submitted a service request to have [a side mirror] replaced. Within two minutes, Tesla approved the request, but the estimate included that they were also replacing the high-voltage battery.”
