The recall addresses potential risks related to the vehicle's body integrity during operation.
Tesla, the American electric vehicle manufacturer, has announced a recall of more than 46,000 units of its Cybertruck model due to a safety issue concerning the vehicle's body structure.
The recall was prompted by concerns from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), which indicated that there is a risk of the vehicle's upper body separating while in motion.
The recalled vehicles were produced between November 2023 and February 27, 2024, encompassing virtually all units of the Cybertruck currently on the market.
Details indicate that this issue could pose a danger to both drivers and passengers, underscoring the importance of maintaining rigorous safety standards in automotive manufacturing.
This latest development represents another challenge for
Tesla, which has faced a series of difficulties recently.
The company's stock has been on a downward trend following CEO
Elon Musk's engagement in government efficiency initiatives in Washington.
On December 17, 2023,
Tesla's share price peaked at $479.96, but it has since seen a decline of over 50%, resulting in a market capitalization reduction of more than $800 billion.
Tesla's proactive step in addressing potential safety hazards through this recall reflects its commitment to consumer safety and regulatory compliance.
Further communications regarding the recall process are expected to follow as part of the company's standard operating procedure in addressing such issues.
