Tesla Cybertruck hit with sixth recall this year, this time over a bad inverter


Another physical recall for Elon Musk’s problematic truck.

The issue is related to something called the metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistors, or MOSFET, in which the inverter has the potential to stop creating torque, resulting in a loss of propulsion for the truck. Since its release late last year, the Cybertruck has become an instantly iconic vehicle, a symbol of the broader culture war, a surprisingly sales winner for Tesla (though that may not last long), and an ongoing headache thanks to its many defects. The truck has been recalled for a slow-to-appear rear camera display, faulty windshield wipers, loose trim, jammed accelerator pedal, and undersized font on its warning lights.
