Tesla is recalling some 63,619 Cybertrucks over headlights that are too bright, potentially distracting other drivers and increasing the risk of a collision.

The recall includes certain Cybertrucks with model years between 2024 and 2026, which were manufactured between 13 November 2023 and 11 October 2025, using operating system software prior to 2025.38.3, the US National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) said.

It said Tesla is not aware of any collisions, injuries or fatalities related to the issue, which is to be fixed by an over-the-air software update.

Multiple recalls

Tesla identified the problem during an internal review earlier this year when photometric tests confirmed excessive brightness, the notice said.

This week Tesla also recalled 12,963 Model 3 and Model Y electric vehicles over an issue that could see cars lose propulsion power without warning, increasing the risk of a crash.

The affected models are equipped with a battery pack contactor with a faulty solenoid from Germany’s InTiCa Systems, Tesla’s recall notice said.

The solenoid can suddenly open due to a poor coil termination connection, causing the car to suddenly lose propulsion without warning.

The company has previously issued more than half a dozen recalls over its recently introduced Cybertruck.

In March Tesla said it would recall more than 43,000 Cybertrucks over cosmetic exterior trim panel that it said can delaminate and detach from the vehicle, potentially becoming a road hazard and increasing the risk of a crash.

Recalls last year addressed issues including failures with the windshield wiper motor controller, sticking accelerator pedals and a delayed image in the rear camera.

Tesla currently faces scrutiny by the NHTSA over issues including the safety of its automated driving features.

Rising expenditures

The firm this week reported third-quarter revenue beating Wall Street analysts’ expectations, driven by high sales as buyers rushed to make purchases before the expiry of a US tax credit at the end of September.

But profit failed to reach analysts’ expectations due to tariff costs, expenditures on AI and other research and development projects, and a drop in income from US government regulatory credits.

Tesla said it expected capital expenditures to rise considerably in 2026 as it prioritises research into nascent AI-driven ventures such as automated taxis and humanoid robots.
