Brake Rotor, Wheel Assembly Defects on Cybertruck
It was revealed by Tesla that the issue involves the Cybertruck models equipped with the 18-inch steel wheels, where the brake rotor stud holes may crack and cause the entire wheel assembly to detach completely from the EV.
According to the NHTSA, Tesla will replace the front and rear brake rotors, hubs, and lug nuts on its Cybertruck free of charge.
According to Digital Trends, this is the latest defect found on Tesla's controversial electric pickup truck, adding to the growing list of issues found on the EV.
In its shipment year alone, Tesla saw around six issues on the Cybertruck, which all resulted in recalls that had the faulty parts replaced.
Most of the issues people had with the Cybertruck are due to quality as most parts break or detach from where they are supposed to be.
