Tesla engineers have reportedly requested the return of affected battery packs for inspection.
One owner explained, “They informed me that there’s technically nothing wrong with my batteries. However, Tesla engineering has requested that the battery pack be returned for a tear-down and inspection. Apparently, units produced around the same time as mine have been experiencing issues.”
Recent Tesla Recalls Highlight Ongoing Concerns
The battery pack replacements come amid a broader pattern of recalls for Tesla’s Cybertruck. Between November 2023 and November 2024, Tesla issued six recalls, addressing issues ranging from power-loss problems to faulty rearview cameras.
While some recalls can be resolved through over-the-air software updates, others require physical repairs.
In October, a recall for delayed rearview camera images affected over 27,100 vehicles.
Earlier in June, more than 11,600 Cybertrucks were recalled due to a failing front windshield wiper.
In April, Tesla addressed an issue with stuck accelerator pedals, recalling nearly 4,000 vehicles. Additionally, some Cybertrucks were included in a February recall of 2.2 million Teslas due to small font sizes on warning light panels.
Looking Ahead
Tesla has yet to issue a public statement on the battery replacements or comment on how widespread the issue might be. As the company continues to refine the Cybertruck, its handling of these recalls underscores the challenges of launching a new vehicle model.
