More than 5 million vehicles were recalled by the Elon Musk-owned automotive company last year - more than any other car manufacturer, although Kia has also made headlines recently, for recalling nearly 23,000 cars after discovering one single worker may have forgotten to bolt down a particular model's seats. Throughout the course of the year, though, Tesla's polarizing Cybertruck was recalled a total of seven times. Advert In November, for example, 2,400 trucks built with metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistors (MOSFETs) were called back due to an accelerator pedal fault. Other issues included a delay in the rearview camera image, malfunctioning engines, and potential axle failures.

Advert Model Ss, Model Xs, Model 3s, Model Ys, and Cybertrucks manufactured between 2012 to 2024 were called back because the font size of some warning lights on the instrument panel was too small - by far the most minor reason for recall this year. Then, in May, some 125,000 Model S and Model Xs made between 2021 and 2023 were recalled to 'inspect and ensure both first-row seat belts are properly connected to their respective pretensioner anchors'. In July, some 1.8 million vehicles were recalled because of a bonnet issue which saw its software fail to detect an unlatched hood. This impacted Model 3s, Model Ss, Model Xs, and Model Ys made between 2021 and 2024. Advert
