All 173 RWD Long Range Cybertrucks have a defect that may potentially lead to wheel separation.

No crashes, injuries or fatalities have occurred. Much bigger recalls from other auto-makers in the past:

Toyota: 8-9 million worldwide recalled for "sticking" accelerator pedals and floor mats that would trap pedals, and a $1.2B DOJ penalty.

Kia 2015: also sticky pedals in various models.

Ford (1970's): 1.5 million vehicles recalled due to read-end collision fires from the fuel tank placement.

Are you comparing Toyota’s reliability and recall record to Tesla’s Cybertruck?

Lmao

Toyota recalled ALL the bZ4X electric SUV's because the wheels fell off.

Did you just compare a manufacturer to a specific model from a new-ish company and then laugh?
