Cybertruck Recalls: Safety Defects You Need to Know

Since its late 2023 launch, the Tesla Cybertruck has accumulated 8+ NHTSA recalls for serious safety defects. These recalls provide critical evidence for product liability claims—proving Tesla knew of defects and either failed to fix them or delivered vehicles with known hazards.

Major Cybertruck Recalls

• 24V-855: Electronic door failures preventing occupant escape
• 24V-340: Accelerator pedal cover detachment causing unintended acceleration
• 24V-XXX: Drive inverter failures causing loss of propulsion
• 24V-XXX: Windshield wiper motor failures
• 24V-XXX: Front trunk (frunk) failures with finger injury risk
• 24V-XXX: Tire pressure monitoring system failures

Why Recalls Matter for Your Claim

Under product liability law, NHTSA recalls establish: the specific defect causing your injury, that Tesla had knowledge of the defect, that the defect existed at time of sale, and that Tesla failed to adequately warn or remedy.

Accelerator Pedal Defect

Recall 24V-340 addresses accelerator pedal covers that can detach and jam against the interior, causing unintended acceleration. Crashes from this defect can reach highway speeds with no driver ability to stop.

Electronic Door Failures

Recall 24V-855 documents doors that may not open after crashes. Combined with Cybertruck's 5,000°F battery fire risk, door failures can trap occupants in burning vehicles.

Using Recalls in Your Case

Yan attorney in our network will obtain: official NHTSA recall documents, Tesla's defect communications to NHTSA, repair completion records for your VIN, prior incident reports involving same defect, and Tesla's internal knowledge timeline.

Settlement Impact

Recall-documented defects typically increase settlements because: liability is clear (manufacturer acknowledged defect), knowledge is established (Tesla knew before your injury), and juries respond to ignored safety issues.
