Tesla has issued a fourth recall on its Cybertruck, this time after discovering problems with the windshield wiper and trim.

According to the recall notice Tuesday, Tesla says that in some Cybertrucks the windshield wiper can get too much current and stop working and that the truck bed’s trim can come loose and fly off. Both issues can increase the risk of a crash, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.

Unlike most vehicles, the Cybertruck has only one large windshield wiper.



The recall will reportedly affect about 11,000 Cybertrucks, and owners will be notified by mail on Aug. 18. Owners can have their wipers and trim repaired at a Tesla facility at no cost.

Tuesday’s recall is the fourth time its electric truck has been slapped with a recall notice. Earlier this year, Tesla issued a recall on all Cybertrucks after drivers discovered that the adhesive on the accelerator pedal could slip off, forcing the pedal into full throttle.

The Cybertruck has been surrounded by controversy since its launch last year, with users complaining about panel gaps, lack of space and sharp edges. The stainless steel material used on the body of the truck has also been known to rust when exposed to the rain.
