Tesla Cybertruck Recalls (2024-2026)
The Tesla Cybertruck has been the subject of 11 recall campaigns on record with NHTSA across the 2024 to 2026 model years. They cluster mostly around the electrical system, exterior lighting, and structure.
The Tesla Cybertruck scores 14 out of 100 (grade F), one of the heavier recall records among the vehicles we track. That score reflects how serious the recalls are rather than how many. 73% involve a critical safety system, none carried a do-not-drive warning, and 100% were issued in the last three years. How the score works.
Those 11 campaigns span 3 model years of the Tesla Cybertruck. The single largest affected 2,193,869 vehicles, over electrical system. A recall repair is free at a franchised dealer and most never expire, so an older open recall is still worth fixing. Beyond recalls, you can also see the most common Cybertruck problems owners report and its crash-test safety ratings.
The full record is below, grouped first by model year and then listed in detail. Each entry gives the defect NHTSA describes, the safety risk it creates, the manufacturer's remedy, the number of vehicles in that campaign, and the dates. A recall covers a whole production run, so a campaign listed for the Tesla Cybertruck may not apply to your exact vehicle, and one you have already had repaired will still appear in the history. To see what is actually open and unfixed on a specific car, check its 17-digit VIN.
