For Tesla's futuristic new Cybertruck, a fourth recall
apnews.com
Tesla is recalling its futuristic new Cybertruck pickup for the fourth time in the U.S. to fix problems with trim pieces that can come loose, and failing front windshield wipers.

The company says in the documents that the front windshield wiper motor controller can stop working because it’s getting too much electrical current. A wiper that fails can cut visibility, increasing the risk of a crash. The Austin, Texas, company says it knows of no crashes or injuries caused by the problem.

In the other recall, a trim piece along the truck bed can come loose and fly off, creating a hazard for other motorists.

Tesla says in documents that the trim piece is installed with adhesive, and that may not have been done properly at the factory.

    front windshield wipers that can fail

    Seems irrelevant if the truck can’t even get wet

      The problem isn’t that it can’t get wet. The problem is that it mustn’t get wet.

        Very true. Now I’m angry at myself for missing an opportunity to use one of the worst contractions in the English language.
