The recall centers around a component known as the cant rail, a stainless-steel exterior trim panel located above the vehicle's windows. Tesla has indicated that this panel could "delaminate and separate from the vehicle," posing a potential risk to drivers and others on the road. If the cant rail detaches, it may create a road hazard, increasing the likelihood of accidents. Drivers may notice unusual noises inside the cabin or observe the panel coming loose before it detaches completely.

Tesla first became aware of this issue in January during routine monitoring of field repairs. Although the company has recorded approximately 151 warranty claims related to this problem, it is not aware of any associated collisions or injuries. Owners of affected Cybertrucks will receive notification letters by May 19, 2025, and can bring their vehicles to Tesla service centers for a complimentary replacement of the cant rail. The company is committed to addressing this issue promptly to ensure customer safety.
