Tesla is taking significant steps to address safety issues, recalling 173 Cybertrucks for faulty brake rotors that may allow wheel studs to detach from the hub, raising crash risks.
The recall includes 2024-2026 Cybertruck models equipped with 18-inch steel wheels. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration noted that stress from rough roads and cornering can lead to cracks in the stud holes of the rotor.
"If cracking propagates with continued use and strain, the wheel stud could eventually separate from the wheel hub," a notification from Tesla stated. The company will provide free replacements for the brake rotors, hubs, and lug nuts to affected owners.
In addition, Tesla is recalling over
200,000 vehicles (Model Y, Model S, Model X, and Model 3) due to a software malfunction that can temporarily disable the rearview camera, impairing visibility and heightening crash risks.
Although the manufacturer has encountered three claims related to the brake rotor issue, it reported being
"not aware of any collisions, fatalities, or injuries" linked to this recall.
Currently, Tesla has received more than a million reservations for the Cybertruck, despite selling only 46,096 trucks in the first 14 months of availability, as noted by CEO Elon Musk. The recalls come as the company aims to enhance safety and maintain consumer trust during production ramp-up.
