Tesla Announces Major Cybertruck Recall Impacting 27,000 Vehicles

Published October 4, 2024

In a significant development for electric vehicle manufacturer Tesla, the company has initiated a recall of over 27,000 Cybertrucks in the United States. This recall is due to a problem with the rear-view display system that may exhibit a delayed image. This lag could potentially increase the risk of accidents, especially during reversing maneuvers where visibility is crucial.

Impact on Tesla's Operations and Stock Market Response

The recall is a setback for Tesla whose Cybertruck has garnered significant consumer interest. The issue is expected to be rectified through a software update. Despite this hiccup, Tesla's stock remains a closely watched asset in the market. Meanwhile, investors are also monitoring other tech giants like Alphabet Inc. GOOG, the parent company of Google known for being a major player in the technology sector.
