Texas Cybertruck Owners, Check Out This News On Your Truck
(KTYL-FM) - They are undoubtedly one of the strangest-looking vehicles on the road - in my opinion.
I have yet to see what the interior of one of the Tesla Cybertruck looks like much less how it could actually be considered a truck. Its foreign-looking futuristic design does not look like it could haul anything. Granted I haven't taken the time to stop by the Tesla dealership on Tyler's Loop 323 to take an in-depth look, turns out it may be a good thing that I haven't done that.
U.S. safety regulators issue a recall on virtually all Cybertrucks on the road today
The Cybertruck has been on the market and available for purchase now for just over a year. Within that year the company has already issued eight recall alerts for the truck.
The latest issue covers the 46,000 Cybertrucks that are on the road today. There seems to be an issue with the gluing agent used on the stainless steel exterior panels that run along each side of the windshield.
This stainless steel exterior panel could come loose while driving and pose a road hazard to other vehicles and drivers and could increase the risk of an accident.
