It is the latest recall that Tesla has done this year, and the seventh for its Cy🐷bertruck. Last month,ജ 2,400 Cybertrucks were called back.

In July, Tesla re🐠called 1.85million vehicles that could fail to detect an unlatched hood while in motion due to a software issue.

Two months bef🐟ore that, Tesla recalled more than 125,000 vehicꦓles of four different models over the seat belts.

Tesla has accounted for 21% of all vehicle recalls in the US in the first t🙈hree qua♑rters of 2024, according to BizzyCar.
