Description:
This is a supplemental update to Complaint #11656525 regarding NHTSA Recall 25V170 for my 2024 Tesla Cybertruck (VIN: [XXX] ). On [XXX], Tesla returned my vehicle after performing the recall repair. However, the results are visibly flawed on both sides of the vehicle. One side of the cant rail panel overlaps and is misaligned, while the opposite side is spaced too far apart, leaving a visible gap. The right-side gasket was not seated and required me to manually push it back into place. When I raised concerns, Tesla acknowledged that the misalignment exceeds their own internal tolerance threshold, and I was told that it was due to engineering limitations with the replacement parts. They also indicated I may need to return for new parts once a proper fix is available a” implying the current repair may not be final or sufficient. This leaves me driving a vehicle that, in my view, remains structurally compromised, potentially vulnerable to panel instability, water intrusion, or corrosion a” especially given Coloradoas weather and road conditions. The original recall involved panels detaching while driving. This level of misfitment does not inspire confidence in the safety or durability of the so-called remedy. Wait to schedule another appointment for another reinstall. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)
