Quick answer

On certain Cybertruck vehicles, the halfshaft bolts may lose torque, which may cause a loud grinding noise if the hub and axle facespline teeth become unseated and damaged. If axle grinding noise is present before starting this bulletin, replace the hub, halfshaft, and halfshaft bolt on the impacted corner. Replace the remaining halfshaft bolts on the unaffected halfshaft locations. Then, run a Double Pedal Torque Test to confirm the hub and halfshaft facespline teeth are properly seated. If no axle grinding noise is present before starting this bulletin, replace all 4 halfshaft bolts and run a Double Pedal Torque Test to confirm the hub and halfshaft facespline teeth are properly seated.

What this bulletin may mean before buying

Treat this as service research, not a verdict on one car. Before you buy, compare this communication with official recall campaigns, model-level owner complaint patterns, and the exact vehicle’s VIN-decoded specifications. A bulletin can help you ask a seller or dealer sharper questions about software updates, known repairs, warranty extensions and service history.
