– A recall for the 2024 Tesla Cybertruck off-road light bar involves approximately 6,200 electric trucks because the off-road light bars may become loose and detach from the trucks.
Tesla says the 2024 Cybertrucks are equipped with service-installed off-road light bars that may have been secured with the wrong surface primer.
The primer is used to attach the light bar to the windshield.
Tesla encountered the problem in February when it noticed problems with the adhesion to glass in the optional off-road light bars. Engineers monitored the field and a few months later Tesla discovered problems due to the wrong primer being applied.
“Tesla has added a warning to the BetaPrime primer application instructions in the service manual to avoid using BetaPrime on the optional off-road light bar accessory, and clarifies that BetaPrime is intended for windshield application only.”
However, some people ignored these warnings.
“Despite service instructions specifying the use of the correct primer for each surface, in some cases service technicians inadvertently used BetaSeal on the windshield and BetaPrime on the optional off-road light bar accessory.”
Tesla is aware of at least 619 warranty claims involving Cybertruck off-road light bars.
A Tesla owner should listen for noise from the Cybertruck and look for a gap between the light bar and the windshield. A driver may also discover that the light bar has come loose.
Recall letters for the Tesla Cybertruck off-road light bar will be mailed in late December 2025.
Tesla Service will inspect the off-road light bar for delamination or damage and if either is present, Tesla will replace the light bar with a new light bar secured with tape and a mechanical fastener. If no delamination or damage is found, Tesla will retrofit the Cybertruck off-road light bar with a mechanical attachment.
Tesla Cybertruck owners can call 877-798-3752 and ask for the Cybertruck light bar recall number SB-25-90-001.
Additionally, a Tesla Cybertruck off-road light bar lawsuit claims that owners paid for the optional lights but never received them.
