Tesla Has Recalled The Cybertruck Because Of Faulty Cant Rail
The problem lies with the cant rail, a stainless steel trim piece that extends from the windshield to the back door along the roof. Tesla notes that this component relies entirely on structural adhesive for its attachment. Unfortunately, this adhesive can deteriorate over time due to environmental factors, compromising its ability to hold the cant rail in place securely.
Tesla To Fix Cybertruck Cant Rail Issue With Better Glue
Tesla will fix Cybertruck’s Cant Rail issue by using glue that will not wear easily due to environmental factors. To further reinforce the panel, a stud weld will be applied to the stainless steel panel. This will be clamped to the truck’s body using a nut.
This Is Not The First Time Tesla Has Recalled The Cybertruck
The Cant Rail recall is not the first service campaign Tesla has issued for the Cybertruck. The EV has been plagued with recalls since deliveries began two years ago, with eight such recalls. However, several of the issues were fixed simply through a software patch.
