Overview
- Tesla is pulling back 173 2024–2026 Cybertrucks with 18-inch steel wheels after Friday’s NHTSA notice detailed brake rotor stud holes that can crack and let a wheel stud separate, raising the risk of losing control.
- The company will replace front and rear brake rotors, hubs, and lug nuts at no cost, and owner letters are scheduled for June 20 with service appointments to follow.
- Tesla says planned durability updates were not applied when production began on August 28, 2025 because of a change-management error identified in its recall filing.
- The automaker cites three possibly related warranty claims and no known crashes or injuries, and warns that affected trucks may first show vibration or wheel-area noise.
- This is the Cybertruck line’s 11th recall and it arrives as Tesla also recalls about 218,868 vehicles for a rearview camera lag, while the tiny scope here underscores how few short-lived RWD models with 18-inch steel wheels were sold.
