Tesla Recalls 173 Cybertrucks for Wheel Rotor Issue and Over 200,000 Vehicles for Camera Fault

Tesla is recalling 173 Cybertrucks from model years 2024 to 2026 equipped with 18-inch steel wheels due to rotor cracking that may cause wheel stud separation, potentially reducing vehicle control and increasing crash risk. Tesla will replace brake rotors, hubs, and lug nuts free of charge with more durable parts. Separately, over 200,000 Tesla vehicles are being recalled for a rearview camera software fault that may temporarily disable the camera, affecting driver visibility. No accidents or injuries have been reported related to these issues.
