According to the March 18 regulatory notice, a large strip of stainless steel exterior trim can potentially “delaminate and detach from the vehicle” while on the road. A total of 46,096 Cybertrucks now qualify for the free in-shop repair.

This is the eighth recall the stainless-clad vehicle has collected in the mere two years it’s been on the road. But unlike many of its previous offenses, this is one of the first significant body repairs that can’t be addressed with a simple over-the-air update.

As of March 18, 2025, production vehicles have yet to be corrected, but Tesla expects to begin applying the remedy around March 21, 2025. Any trucks produced before the fix is implemented, but still sitting in Tesla’s possession, will be retrofitted before being delivered to customers.
