Tesla’s new fix for the Cybertruck’s $2,700 light bar falling off shows they’re not risking it again

EV giant Tesla has revealed a brand new fix for the faulty lightbar of the Cybertruck, and after implementing the new method, it’s unlikely to fall off again.

First revealed in 2023, the EV pickup truck shot to fame thanks to its unique design and clever features such as Full Self-Driving Capability.

Now, a couple of years after the initial release, the truck is still going strong, all apart from one feature.

Don’t fear, though, as Tesla has created the ultimate solution, and it seems to be an easy fix.

The lightbar is one of the Cybertruck’s most distinctive design features

Forget standard lights on a vehicle; when it came to lighting up the Cybertruck, Tesla opted for a new feature consisting of a lightbar, which provided light for the open road, but in a way not seen before.

However, after the light method was installed and premiered on the EVs, there was a proverbial bumpy road ahead.

You see, the lightbar reportedly actually ended up detaching, which is less than ideal for any driver, with lights required to drive safely and even abide by some road laws.

Initially, a primer was reportedly to blame, but now the company has come up with a new solution that could be the best yet.

Here’s what Tesla really said when it came to fixing the issue

Forget relying solely on glue; the company has now reportedly decided to use four fasteners alongside two brackets to make sure the lightbar really will not budge this time, according to Auto Evolution.

The revision notice that is dated 2025/11/13 explained that the company had ‘updated the adhesion process with double-sided tape direction’ alongside the ‘LH/RH body bracket R&I steps’.

The recall notice stated on Tesla’s site explained that there was a ‘voluntary recall on certain model year 2024 Cybertruck vehicles manufactured between November 13, 2023, and November 5, 2024′.

But, it wasn’t all bad, as the brand further explained that it would inspect the off-road lightbar that had been service-installed at no extra charge, and if ‘delamination or damage’ was present, would even replace the light bar ‘adhered with tape and a positive mechanical attachment’.

So, there you have it, Tesla is reported to have fixed the problem, arguably leaving it better than before; now, only time will tell how bright the feature’s future is.
