The model’s largest recall equates to roughly 318 Cybertrucks per day, or nearly 10,000 per month, for defects including an off-road light bar accessory
Dubai—New research reveals that Tesla recalled more than 115,000 Cybertrucks in 2025, based on official manufacturer filings submitted to the U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA).
The analysis by Finbold aggregates three separate 2025 recall campaigns disclosed by Tesla to U.S. regulators, covering a mix of hardware safety issues and software non-compliance fixes. Together, the filings show that 115,912 Cybertrucks were included in recall actions during the calendar year, making 2025 the model’s largest recall year since launch.
According to Finbold’s calculations, the 2025 recall total equates to roughly 318 Cybertrucks per day, or nearly 10,000 per month, being covered by recall notices, more than double the estimated 2024 recall footprint.
The largest campaign involved a stainless-steel exterior trim component (cant rail) that could detach while driving, followed by a software defect that caused front parking lamps to exceed legal brightness limits, and a third recall affecting an optional off-road light bar accessory.
“Tesla’s own regulatory filings tell a very different story from the brand’s rugged, indestructible Cybertruck narrative,” said Diana Paluteder, co-author of the report “When you combine three separate recall campaigns, you end up with more than 115,000 trucks being flagged for safety or compliance issues in a single year.”
Jordan Major, co-author of the Finbold research added, “NHTSA recall populations show the maximum number of vehicles that could be affected, not confirmed failures in every truck. But even with that caveat, having more than 115,000 Cybertrucks pulled into recall campaigns in a single year highlights how frequently the model has been pushed back into regulatory compliance.”
