Tesla is recalling 12,150 Cybertruck vehicles from the 2024 model year because a trim piece on the trunk bed, known as the sail applique, may not have been properly glued to the vehicle. This defect can cause the trim to loosen and potentially fly off while the truck is in motion. Tesla service centers will inspect the applique and apply a special adhesive promoter and pressure-sensitive tape, or replace the piece entirely if it is already missing, at no cost to the owner.
If the trim piece detaches from the vehicle while driving, it becomes a road hazard for other motorists following behind, which significantly increases the risk of a crash.
You have 2 options:
Application of adhesion promoter and pressure sensitive tape
Replacement of missing trim piece
