Tesla Inc. has decided to recall all Cybertrucks that were produced and sold in the first 15 months of being on the US market due to a safety concern that the company is struggling to fix.

According to a report submitted for the recall, Tesla estimates that around 1% of the 46,096 pickups being recalled have a defect. The issue involves pieces of steel trim on the exterior of the Cybertruck, which are attached using an adhesive that is prone to becoming brittle in certain environmental conditions.

Tesla has promised to cover the costs of replacing the affected panels with ones that meet the company's durability standards. However, by March 18, when Tesla submitted the recall report, the company had not yet resolved the problem during production. They aimed to fix the issue by March 21.

The separation of the stainless steel panel from the vehicle while driving poses a risk of creating a hazard for other vehicles on the road, potentially leading to injuries or collisions, Tesla warned. Additionally, the company has identified 151 warranty claims that may be linked to this problem.

Following its launch in November 2023, Tesla has already carried out six recalls of the Cybertruck in the US. Earlier safety campaigns included issues with trim pieces on the truck bed that could detach while driving.

As of 10 a.m. Thursday in New York, Tesla's shares showed little change. The stock has experienced a decline of more than 40% in the current year.

Tesla's CEO Elon Musk has emphasized the durability and strength of the Cybertruck since unveiling the prototype in November 2019. Despite promoting the truck as exceedingly sturdy, a demo of its bulletproof glass did not go as planned when the windows shattered upon impact with a metal ball. This incident, along with challenges related to the trim pieces, have raised doubts about the truck's durability.
