Tesla recalls Cybertruck due to brake disc cracking in steel wheels

Tesla recalls Cybertruck with factory steel wheels due to brake disc cracks under heavy loads. Free replacement of discs, hubs, and nuts. Affected models from March 2024 to November 2025.

Tesla has announced a recall of its Cybertruck pickups equipped with factory-installed 18-inch steel wheels. The issue stems from cracks that can appear in the brake disc lug holes under heavy loads. Continued use may cause the lug bolts to detach from the hub, increasing the risk of a crash. Vehicles manufactured between March 21, 2024, and November 25, 2025, are affected.

Tesla launched an investigation in August 2025 after an internal analysis identified cases of disc cracking, although no instances of fastener failure were recorded. The company worked on design improvements, including changes to the lug nut coating, but implementation was delayed due to a mistake in change management.

According to the manufacturer, there have been three warranty claims related to the defect, with no reported accidents. Service centers will free of charge replace the brake discs, hubs, and nuts with updated components featuring improved geometry and greater strength. Dealer notifications were sent on April 24, 2026, and owners will receive letters by June 20.
