The company says in the documents that the front windshield wiper motor controller can stop working because it’s getting too much electrical current. A wiper that fails can cut visibility, increasing the risk of a crash. The Austin, Texas, company says it knows of no crashes or injuries caused by the problem.

In the other recall, a trim piece along the truck bed can come loose and fly off, creating a hazard for other motorists.

Tesla says in documents that the trim piece is installed with adhesive, and that may not have been done properly at the factory.

    11.000 people bought one?! I figured just a few museums would’ve picked one, to display in their abstract art sections, or the “even when we knew how not to we still built shit” section.

      No, 11,000 were effected by the recall. There’s way more morons with money in this country. I’m in CA and I saw 3 of them on my 10 minute drive to my favorite pizza joint.
