The recall affects Tesla’s 2024 Cybertruck models, which have been plagued by several safety concerns since their launch. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) in the U.S. requires rearview camera systems to display the image within two seconds of shifting into reverse. Tesla, however, identified that certain Cybertruck vehicles were not meeting this standard. The delay in the rearview camera’s image increases blind spots, posing significant risks for the driver(

Tesla will issue a software update to fix the problem, with notifications to owners starting from late November 2024. This recall marks the fifth instance of issues with the Cybertruck, as previous recalls dealt with windshield wiper failures, loose trim pieces, and problems with the accelerator pedal.
Despite the series of recalls, Elon Musk’s vision for the futuristic Cybertruck remains strong. The company continues to push forward with manufacturing and deliveries, aiming to address all issues through software and design tweaks. Tesla’s commitment to safety, however, is under scrutiny as frequent recalls can shake consumer confidence. Nevertheless, the global push for electric vehicles ensures that Tesla’s innovations will continue shaping the future of transportation.
