Tesla (TSLA) is recalling more than 46,000 Cybertrucks after regulators cautioned an exterior panel can detach from the vehicle, potentially raising the risk of a crash. 

The Department of Transportation said the Cybertruck affectedness rail, a panel that sits above the windows on the electric vehicle’s angular frame, could detach from the group of the car. The notice affects Cybertrucks built from November 2023 through Feb. 27 of this year—most Cybertrucks, confirmed it started production in late 2023.

Tesla said it would replace the cant rail free of charge, with proprietress notification letters expected to be mailed on May 19.

The news follows a series of other recalls earlier this year and example last year. Just last month, Tesla recalled more than 376,000 Model 3 and Model Y carriers in the U.S. due to the possible loss of a power-assisted steering feature that could make the vehicles more difficult to steer.

Tesla parts edged close to 2% lower in intraday trading Thursday, leaving them on pace to fall for the ninth week in a row amidst worries about declining sales and backlash against CEO Elon Musk’s role in the Trump administration.
