Analysis Summary
Tesla is recalling 173 RWD Cybertrucks because cracking in brake rotor studs can cause the wheel to separate from the hub while driving. The recall was confirmed by NHTSA and reported across multiple outlets including Wired, Popular Science, and local ABC stations. The post's framing that wheels could 'fall off' is colloquially accurate but slightly sensationalized โ€” (Note: The original claim about stud cracking leading to wheel separation appears to be correct based on available sources.) which is serious but more specific than wheels simply detaching.
