March 20 (Reuters) - Tesla said on Thursday it

is recalling 46,096 Cybertruck vehicles in the U.S. over an

exterior panel that can detach while driving, after more than

six call-backs for the pickups last year.

Tesla is recalling the vehicles over issues of the cant

rail - a stainless-steel exterior trim panel - delaminating and

detaching from the vehicle, it said.

As a remedy, Tesla service will replace the rail assembly

free of charge.

Shares of the EV-maker remained largely unchanged in

premarket trading.
