"The recall deals with a potentially separating wheel stud and potentially impacts 173 Cybertruck units with the 18-inch steel wheels. The Cybertruck RWD was the only trim level to feature these, and the 173 potentially impacted units represented the entire population of pickups."
"On affected vehicles, higher severity road perturbations and cornering may strain the stud hole in the wheel rotor, causing cracks to form. If cracking propagates with continued use and strain, the wheel stud could eventually separate from the wheel hub."
"For just $10,000 less than the All-Wheel-Drive trim, Tesla offered the RWD Cybertruck with just one motor, textile seats instead of leather, only 7 speakers instead of 15, no Rear Touchscreen, no Powered Tonneau Cover for the truck bed, and no 120v/240v outlets."
The Rear-Wheel-Drive Cybertruck trim was available for a short period and did not perform well in sales. Recall documents from the NHTSA indicate that 173 units may have a potential issue with wheel studs. The RWD version lacked many features compared to the All-Wheel-Drive trim, which contributed to its poor sales. Tesla ceased production of the RWD Cybertruck in September, highlighting the lack of consumer interest in this model.
