Tesla has issued a recall for all 173 units of its RWD Cybertruck Long Range due to a critical safety issue involving faulty brake rotors. The problem may cause the wheels to detach from the vehicle, as reported by MotorTrend and confirmed in a notice on the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) website.
According to Tesla’s statement, the issue stems from cracked brake rotor stud holes, which could allow the stud to separate from the wheel hub. This defect poses a significant risk of wheel detachment while driving.
The recall encompasses all $70,000 Cybertruck Long Range models equipped with 18-inch steel wheels. Tesla has identified three warranty claims potentially related to this issue but has stated it is not aware of any collisions, fatalities, or injuries resulting from the defect.
This marks the 11th recall for the Cybertruck since its launch, highlighting ongoing quality control challenges for the electric pickup truck.
