The step marks recall to eighth security for Tesla-made vehicles as the delivery began a year ago. Started by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, recall affects more than 46,000 cybercracks and mainly relates to an issue with an external panel that can separate when driving.
The problematic panel, known as a cant rail assembly, is located between the windshield and the roof on both sides of the vehicle. It is safe using a structural adhesive, but the current adhesive is susceptible to environmental decline.
To address this issue, the Tesla will replace the panel with a new adhesive that is more flexible and adds additional reinforcement. Recall includes all 2024 and 2025 models years, built from 13 November 2023 to 27 February, 2025. Tesla came to know about the problem earlier this year. The owner notification letter is expected to be mail on May 19, 2025.
