For the sixth time this year, the Tesla Cybertruck is being recalled. This time the problem is apparently so serious that new software is not enough.
Tesla has recalled the Cybertruck for the sixth time this year. This time it is due to a fault in the inverter which can result in a loss of motor power.
The issue affects 2,431 Cybertrucks from the 2024 model year and cannot be resolved with a software update.
The error occurs in the so-called microchips in the inverter. The error may mean that the large electric car cannot generate torque. Tesla states that the error must occur without warning. Cars affected by the fault suddenly stop completely.
Once this is the case, however, the car's infotainment system will inform about the error. An error that Tesla first became aware of when customers began to complain on July 31 of this year.
Reuters writes that.
At the end of October, the car brand can then ascertain that there is an increased 'error rate' on the mentioned microchips. For the same reason, the recall became a reality just one week later.

Tesla and the US traffic safety authorities are aware of at least five cases of this kind of failure. But as far as is known, no motorists, pedestrians or others were injured.
Nor does the error lead to traffic fatalities.
Tesla will start replacing inverters in factory new cars from December 9 this year. But owners of cars that are already on the street are first notified that their cars need a trip to the workshop at the beginning of the new year.
Previous recalls of the Tesla Cybertruck have been due to problems with the rear camera display, the accelerator pedal, the wiper motor and parts of the car that could fly off.
