Overview
- Tesla, which announced the action Friday, is recalling 173 rear-wheel-drive Cybertruck Long Range models from 2024–2026 that use 18-inch steel wheels.
- The company says cracks can form in the brake rotor’s stud holes during rough-road driving and tight turns, which could let wheel studs pull free and cause a loss of control.
- Service centers will install new front and rear rotors, wheel hubs, and lug nuts at no cost, with owner letters and repair scheduling set for June.
- Tesla reports three related warranty claims so far and says it knows of no crashes or injuries tied to the defect.
- The filing cites a missed production change, with industry reports pointing to wrong lug-nut grease, and the 173-vehicle scope highlights limited sales of the 18-inch RWD variant in the model line’s 11th recall.
