STRUCTURE:BODY
- The defect
- Tesla, Inc. (Tesla) is recalling certain 2024-2025 Cybertruck vehicles. The light bar can delaminate and detach from the vehicle.
- What it can cause
- A detached light bar can become a road hazard, increasing the risk of a crash.
- What the dealer does
- Tesla service will replace the cant rail assembly, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed September 19, 2025. Owners may contact Tesla customer service at 1-877-798-3752. Tesla's number for this recall is SB-25-10-001.
- NHTSA's note
- Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 888-327-4236 (TTY 888-275-9171) or go to nhtsa.gov.
The repair is free, whatever the age or mileage of the vehicle, and whether or not you are the original owner.
Which vehicles
A recall reaches a range of VINs inside these model years, not every car built in them. Yours may not be covered even if it is listed here, and the only way to find out is NHTSA's own VIN lookup .
How this campaign compares
At 46,096 vehicles this is a bigger campaign than 88% of the 19,818 vehicle recalls filed since 1995 whose size NHTSA published. The middle campaign on file covers 472. It covers model years 2024 to 2025, so the oldest vehicles on it were one model year old when the defect was reported to NHTSA.
Tesla vehicles have been recalled over the structure 5 times before this, most recently in August 2024 as 24V615000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
This site holds the complaint record for all 2 model years the campaign names. Their owners have filed 191 complaints with NHTSA, 27 of them before this campaign was filed. 38 of those name the structure, the system this recall is about — a count of complaints, not of this defect.
The vehicles on this campaign carry 10 other recalls published here, the newest being: 26V255000 (wheels), 25V735000 (exterior lighting), 25V699000 (exterior lighting), 24V935000 (tires).
Check your own car
A VIN check is the only answer for a specific vehicle, and it also shows every other open recall on it, which is usually the reason it is worth doing rather than reading one campaign.
Filed by Tesla, Inc. with NHTSA on March 18, 2025 as campaign 25V170000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
