Remember the Tesla Cybertruck’s oversized wiper?One that turns out to be too big to exist, at least not without clutter in one form or another?Well, it turns out that it is.
Tesla just recalled more than 11,000 Cybertrucks due to a windshield wiper issue. The recall affects all Cybertruck cars of the 2024 style year manufactured between November 13, 2023 and June 6, 2024, which is almost all given that Cybertruck deliveries began in November 2023. .
“In the affected vehicles, the front wiper motor controller would possibly impede its operation due to an electrical overload of the door drive component,” the recall report states. “A windshield wiper that doesn’t work can reduce visibility under certain operating conditions, which can increase the risk of a collision. “
The report also states that Tesla is aware of collisions, injuries or deaths similar to this issue.
For Cybertruck owners, this means they will need to take their car to a Tesla service center and replace the wiper motor.
The Cybertruck’s oversized windshield gained notoriety even before the car was launched, with spy footage revealing just how strangely large it is (compared to any other car’s wipers). Tesla CEO Elon Musk also said that the windshield wiper is a major challenge for the development of the car and emphasized that there is “no simple solution” to the challenge.
Speaking of the windshield wipers calming down after the car’s launch, however, it seems like their difficult days are over.
The company also issued another Cybertruck recall, this one involving a decorative piece along the truck’s bed that can come loose and fall off, and will also need to be replaced or reinstalled to waste.
This is not the first Cybertruck recall. The company recalled all Cybertrucks it sold in April 2024 due to accelerator issues. And unlike many other Tesla recalls, which were resolved without issue with a software update, those Cybertruck recalls required service. center. In total, Tesla has issued four Cybertruck recalls since the car went on sale.
