- The defect
- Tesla, Inc. (Tesla) is recalling certain 2024-2026 Cybertruck vehicles equipped with 18-inch steel wheels. The brake rotor stud holes may crack and allow the stud to separate from the wheel hub.
- What it can cause
- Wheel stud separation can cause a loss of vehicle control, increasing the risk of a crash.
- What the dealer does
- Tesla Service will replace the front and rear brake rotors, hubs, and lug nuts, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed June 20, 2026. Owners may contact Tesla customer service at 1-877-798-3752. Tesla's number for this recall is SB-26-33-003.
The repair is free, whatever the age or mileage of the vehicle, and whether or not you are the original owner.
Which vehicles
A recall reaches a range of VINs inside these model years, not every car built in them. Yours may not be covered even if it is listed here, and the only way to find out is NHTSA's own VIN lookup .
How this campaign compares
At 173 vehicles this is a small campaign: 63% of the 19,818 vehicle recalls filed since 1995 whose size NHTSA published are as large or larger. The middle campaign on file covers 472. It covers model years 2024 to 2026, so the oldest vehicles on it were 2 model years old when the defect was reported to NHTSA.
Tesla vehicles have been recalled over the wheels once before this, most recently in May 2009 as 09V178000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
This site holds the complaint record for all 3 model years the campaign names. Their owners have filed 197 complaints with NHTSA, 127 of them before this campaign was filed. 7 of those name the wheels, the system this recall is about — a count of complaints, not of this defect. The earliest of them reached NHTSA in April 2024, 1 year before this filing.
The vehicles on this campaign carry 10 other recalls published here, the newest being: 25V735000 (exterior lighting), 25V699000 (exterior lighting), 25V170000 (structure), 24V935000 (tires).
Check your own car
A VIN check is the only answer for a specific vehicle, and it also shows every other open recall on it, which is usually the reason it is worth doing rather than reading one campaign.
Filed by Tesla, Inc. with NHTSA on April 22, 2026 as campaign 26V255000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
