WASHINGTON — Tesla said on Thursday (Oct 3) it would recall more than 27,000 Cybertrucks in the US due to delayed rear-view camera images that could impair driver visibility and increase crash risks.

This is the fifth recall issued by Tesla for 2024 Cybertruck models since January.

Tesla is issuing a software update to address the latest issue.

The latest recall affects most US Cybertrucks and is the biggest one of the five for the electric truck in 2024. Tesla issued a recall in April to fix a loose accelerator pedal pad, and another in June over issues with windscreen wipers and exterior trim.

The electric vehicle (EV) maker started deliveries of the Cybertruck in November 2023 after a two-year delay due to production problems and battery-supply constraints. Tesla has not disclosed Cybertruck production or delivery numbers.

Tesla chief executive Elon Musk launched the Blade Runner-inspired truck to refresh the company's ageing line-up amid slowing EV demand.

Issues with the model are closely watched by investors due to the resources Tesla has invested in its development.
