Tesla is recalling its cheaper Cybertruck because the wheels might fall off
"Tesla says "brake rotor stud holes may crack and allow the stud to separate from the wheel hub." The recall affects all 173 of the $70,000 Cybertrucks sold by Tesla, which come with 18-inch steel wheels. Tesla notes that it has identified three warranty claims potentially linked to the issue, but it's "not aware of any collisions, fatalities, or injuries" related to the recall."
""On affected vehicles, higher severity road perturbations and cornering may strain the stud hole in the wheel rotor, causing cracks to form," according to Tesla. "If cracking propagates with continued use and strain, the wheel stud could eventually separate from the wheel hub." Tesla says it will remove and replace the front and rear brake rotors, hubs, and lug nuts free of charge."
