Look, no car manufacturer is immune to recalls. Ford, in particular, recalls cars often, as does Chrysler.
But there’s something particularly sad when a stainless steel truck, supposedly able to withstand all sorts of abuse, gets recalled again. And again. And again.
We’re talking, of course, about Tesla’s Cybertruck, which just got recalled due to an issue with the vehicle’s inverter, which may cause losing the ability “to apply torque to the vehicle using the accelerator pedal resulting in a loss of propulsion, which may increase the risk of a collision.”

Tesla recalls cybertrucks for dangerous rearview display issue
Vehicles affected are Cybertrucks produced from Nov. 6, 2023, to July 30, 2024, or those “equipped with metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistors (MOSFET) in the drive inverter.” In total, 2,431 Cybertrucks are affected.
By our count, this is the sixth time the Cybertruck has been recalled, which is a lot given that the vehicle has been on the market for about a year.
And this is not one of those recalls that can be fixed with a software update. This time, owners of affected vehicles will have to schedule a service appointment to get the recalled inverter replaced with an inverter equipped with a properly functioning MOSFET component, which should take “approximately three hours.”
