Teslais recalling Cybertrucks over concerns their wheel studs could separate. potentially causing wheels to fall off, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA).
According to the report,the recallaffects Cybertrucks with the base 18-inch steel wheels that were sold between 2024 and 2026. Only 173vehicleswere recalled overall.

Although early testing found no loss of vehicle function or control. engineers determined that continued use under strain could eventually lead to separation of the wheel stud from the hub.
