1. Tesla recalls 6,197 Cybertrucks due to faulty light bar glue. 2. Cybertruck has faced multiple recalls since its 2023 launch. 3. Tesla's Q3 Cybertruck sales fell 62.6% year-over-year. 4.

The ongoing recall issues demonstrate quality control problems, which could erode consumer trust. Historical examples show that significant recalls can negatively impact stock prices, such as GM's ignition switch recall leading to a drop in their stock.
Recalls significantly affect brand perception, impacting sales and stock performance. Given Tesla's proactive customer engagement and previous recalls, continued problems may sharply influence stock prices.
Immediate consumer perception and investor sentiment may deteriorate in the short-term due to recalls. If production issues persist, long-term sales forecasts may also suffer, but initial reactions are typically more acute.
