Tesla is recalling more than 27,000 Cybertrucks because the rearview camera image may not activate immediately after shifting into reverse, the fifth recall for the vehicle since it went on sale late last year.
Tesla has released a free software upgrade to address the issue and owner notification letters are expected to be mailed Nov. 25.
Cybertruck owners have had to deal with a series of recalls since the vehicle went on sale in November. In June, there was a recall to fix problems with trim pieces that can come loose and front windshield wipers that can fail. Two months before that, some Cybertrucks were recalled because the accelerator pedal could stick.
In the most recent recall, the company notified the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration that the display screens in effected trucks may remain blank for up to 8 seconds after a driver shifts to reverse. The U.S. requires those screens to activate with a rearview within 2 seconds of shifting into reverse.
Elon Musk’s Tesla delivered the first dozen or so of its futuristic Cybertruck pickups to customers in November, two years behind the original schedule.

Tesla’s highly anticipated Cybertruck has hit another bump in the road as it faces its fifth recall in just one year. The latest issue revolves around the rearview display, which has been found to have a malfunction that could potentially put drivers at risk.
The rearview display is a crucial component of the Cybertruck, as it allows drivers to see what is behind them when they are backing up. However, Tesla has discovered a glitch in the system that could cause the display to freeze or go blank, leaving drivers without a clear view of their surroundings.
This latest recall adds to a string of previous issues that have plagued the Cybertruck since its debut. Previous recalls have included problems with the vehicle’s suspension, brakes, and steering, all of which have raised concerns about the safety and reliability of the electric truck.
Tesla has been quick to address these issues and has assured customers that they are working diligently to resolve the problems. In a statement, the company said, “We take the safety of our customers very seriously and are committed to addressing any issues that arise as quickly as possible.”
Despite these setbacks, the Cybertruck continues to generate a significant amount of interest and excitement among consumers. With its futuristic design and impressive performance capabilities, the electric truck has captured the attention of many who are looking for a more sustainable and innovative option for their transportation needs.
As Tesla works to address these recalls and improve the overall quality of the Cybertruck, it remains to be seen how these issues will impact the vehicle’s reputation and sales. In the meantime, customers are urged to stay informed about any potential recalls or safety concerns and to contact Tesla if they experience any issues with their Cybertruck.
