Tesla Issues a Cybertruck Recall Over Loose Light Bars That Could Fall Off

Tesla and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration are warning Cybertruck owners that an off-road accessory could be a road hazard.

A recall has been issued because of an off-road light bar accessory that could come loose and fall off the trucks. The NHTSA says it could affect 6,197 vehicles, about 10 percent of all Cybertrucks sold. 

"A detached light bar may fall, creating a road hazard for other vehicles and increasing the risk of a crash," the notice says. 

The recall is the latest of 10 that have been issued for Tesla's Cybertruck since it debuted in late 2023. 

A representative for Tesla did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
