Tesla is once again calling back its cutting-edge Cybertruck for the fourth time in the United States to address critical issues pertaining to trim components and front windshield wipers.

According to documents released Tuesday by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, each recall impacts over 11,000 units. The electric vehicle manufacturer has identified a problem with the front windshield wiper motor controller, which may cease functioning due to an excessive electrical current, thereby potentially causing visibility issues and increasing crash risks. Tesla has reported no crashes or injuries linked to this problem to date.

To rectify the issue, Tesla will replace the wiper motor at no cost to owners, who will receive notification by letter on August 18.

Additionally, another recall addresses a trim component on the truck bed that may detach and pose dangers to other road users. The trim, installed using adhesive, may not have been properly secured during manufacturing. Tesla will remedy this by replacing or reworking the trim piece, with notification letters also set for August 18. Since its market debut on November 30, the stainless steel-clad Cybertruck has been recalled four times.
