(KRON) — Tesla’s Cybertrucks are now facing a fourth recall, the National Highway and Safety Administration announced. The company’s futuristic truck models reportedly have faulty trim pieces and windshield wipers.

NHTSA announced the new recalls in documents posted Tuesday. They affect more than 11,000 trucks with model years between November 2023 and this May.

The company says in the documents that the front windshield wiper motor controller can stop working because it’s getting too much electrical current, increasing the risk of a crash if the wiper were to stop working. Tesla says it knows of no crashes or injuries caused by the problem.

Tesla service will replace the wiper motor “free of charge,” NHTSA said. Owner notification letters are expected to be mailed on August 18 this year.

Tesla has recalled the stainless steel Cybertruck four times since it went on sale Nov. 30. The last recall was in April concerning a faulty accelerator.
