Tesla is recalling its cheaper Cybertruck because the wheels might fall off

特斯拉召回平价版 Cybertruck，原因竟是车轮可能脱落

Tesla is recalling its RWD Cybertruck Long Range over faulty brake rotors that could cause the wheels to fall off, as spotted earlier by MotorTrend. In a notice on the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration’s website, Tesla says “brake rotor stud holes may crack and allow the stud to separate from the wheel hub.”

据《MotorTrend》早先报道，特斯拉正在召回其后驱（RWD）长续航版 Cybertruck，原因是刹车盘存在缺陷，可能导致车轮脱落。在国家公路交通安全管理局（NHTSA）网站发布的一份通知中，特斯拉表示：“刹车盘螺柱孔可能会出现裂纹，导致螺柱从轮毂上分离。”

The recall affects all 173 of the $70,000 Cybertrucks sold by Tesla, which come with 18-inch steel wheels. The company notes that it has identified three warranty claims potentially linked to the issue, but it’s “not aware of any collisions, fatalities, or injuries” related to the recall.

此次召回涵盖了特斯拉售出的全部 173 辆售价 7 万美元的 Cybertruck，这些车辆均配备了 18 英寸钢制轮毂。特斯拉指出，公司已发现三起可能与该问题相关的保修索赔，但“目前尚未收到任何与此次召回相关的碰撞、死亡或受伤报告”。

This is the 11th Cybertruck recall so far, following issues with the vehicle’s accelerator, trim, inverter, reverse cameras, and even font size. Tesla released its RWD Cybertruck model last April, but discontinued it just months later. It launched an even cheaper $60,000 dual-motor AWD Cybertruck variant in February of this year, which isn’t affected by this recall.

这是 Cybertruck 迄今为止的第 11 次召回，此前该车型曾因加速踏板、装饰件、逆变器、倒车摄像头甚至字体大小等问题进行过召回。特斯拉于去年 4 月发布了后驱版 Cybertruck，但在几个月后便将其停产。今年 2 月，特斯拉推出了售价更低（6 万美元）的双电机全轮驱动（AWD）版 Cybertruck，该版本不受此次召回影响。

“On affected vehicles, higher severity road perturbations and cornering may strain the stud hole in the wheel rotor, causing cracks to form,” according to Tesla. “If cracking propagates with continued use and strain, the wheel stud could eventually separate from the wheel hub.” Tesla says it will remove and replace the front and rear brake rotors, hubs, and lug nuts free of charge.

特斯拉表示：“在受影响的车辆上，较剧烈的路面颠簸和转弯可能会使刹车盘上的螺柱孔受力，从而导致裂纹产生。如果裂纹随着持续使用和受力而扩大，车轮螺柱最终可能会从轮毂上脱落。”特斯拉承诺将免费拆除并更换前后刹车盘、轮毂及凸耳螺母。
