Tesla has announced a recall of some Cybertruck vehicles, stating that 'cracks in the wheel rotors could cause the hub bolts to detach from the wheel hub , increasing the risk of collisions and injuries.' The recall affects 173 Cybertruck vehicles sold between 2024 and 2026 that are equipped with 18-inch steel wheels.
According to a report by the U.S. Department of Transportation's National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), cracks can develop in the stud holes of wheel rotors when subjected to stress from rough roads or cornering. If driving continues in this condition, the hub bolts may eventually detach from the wheel hub. The detachment of the hub bolts can affect the vehicle's handling and increase the risk of collisions.
Affected Cybertrucks can have their front and rear wheel rotors, wheel hubs, and wheel nuts replaced with more durable parts free of charge by Tesla. The recall number is 'SB-26-33-003'.
Tesla began delivering the Cybertruck at the end of November 2023, but in April 2024, it issued its first recall due to a problem where 'the accelerator pedal cover would come off and get caught in the stitching on the floor, causing the pedal to remain depressed.' Since then, Tesla has recalled the Cybertruck multiple times, announcing five recalls in just one year since deliveries began .

The parts that have been identified as defective in previous recalls for the Cybertruck include wipers, inverters, tire pressure monitoring systems, rearview cameras, and steel panels.
Overseas media outlet Mashable pointed out, 'What's a blow to Tesla is related to the low number of Cybertrucks on the road. This recall has revealed that only 173 Cybertrucks equipped with 18-inch steel wheels were sold between 2024 and 2026. This model includes the inexpensive $71,000 (approximately 11 million yen) rear-wheel-drive Cybertruck that was announced in April 2025 and quietly discontinued in September 2025. This is not the total number of Cybertrucks sold, but it's not as far off as you might think. It's a long way from Elon Musk's claim that Tesla will sell 1 million Cybertrucks a year, and from Tesla's officially projected sales of 250,000 units in 2024.'
Furthermore, Tesla has recalled more than 200,000 Model Y, Model S, Model X, and Model 3 vehicles due to a software bug that causes the rearview camera to briefly malfunction. It has been pointed out that when the rearview camera malfunctions, it can affect the driver's visibility and potentially increase the risk of collisions.
