So my CT AWD is affected by these two recalls. So how do I put in a service to get them fixed?

Recall notifications often take some time to go out. If you don't have an absolute need to have them completed at this point, I'd suggest waiting.
It's a parts availability issue. For everyone you take, that's another Cybertuck that can't be delivered.

Got lucky somehow. I do have a SR for tonneau sail weatherstripping coming loose and the cover lid where crossbars attach.

I got caught in a a crazy monsoon last week. I noticed the wiper blade bowing in the middle while wiping during large gusts of wind, and sometimes at 80mph and above. I was worried about some of the issues brought up online, so I preemptively coated the windshield with GLACO. That saved my butt!

Well, now I got three things for them to fix... wonder if I should just wait till another recall comes out

I'm never in a hurry to get a recall that doesn't impact safety or my use of the truck in any way. Our various Tesla have needed very few recalls over the years, all of them more minor than the wiper motor recall, and they are performed much more orderly and your local Service Center techs will have a lot more experience performing the recalls if you are not in a hurry to get them done. Yes, they can perform multiple recalls in one service visit if they have all the required parts on hand.

My experience has been they automatically perform any outstanding recalls on your vehicle if you book a service appt. for anything at all. Of course that assumes they have the parts in stock which might not happen instantly if they have to re-manufacture a part or something.

I am impacted by both based on the lookup. I tried to schedule a CS appointment this week and they said wait 2 weeks we dont have the parts or know how to resolve this yet

Over 11k Cybertrucks have been recalled due to the wiper motor potentially having electrical overstress.

Tesla recalls thousands of Cybertrucks over windshield wiper, exterior trim issues

June 25, 2024

June 25 (Reuters) - Tesla is recalling 11,688 Cybertruck electric pickup trucks as a failure of the windshield wiper could reduce visibility, increasing the risk of a crash, the U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) said.

The EV maker also is recalling 11,383 units of the pickup truck as a trim in the trunk bed could have been improperly attached, potentially becoming loose and creating a road hazard for motorists behind, a separate notice from the NHTSA said.

"Excessive electrical current can cause the front windshield wiper motor controller to fail," the auto safety regulator said in a recall acknowledgement letter on Monday.
The company's service team will replace the wiper motor and apply an adhesion promoter and pressure sensitive tape or replace the missing trim free of charge for affected vehicles, the letters said.

I picked up 6/10 and have both recalls showing. Have a service appointment scheduled for mid-July to get my spare tire, asking if I can get these resolved at the same time.

Already ordered RainX for the windscreen, should arrive today!

FYI- Tesla told me I have no recalls. Sent them screenshots....waiting for response.

My Beast VIN reports both recalls are needing addressed.
Check yours here: https://www.nhtsa.gov/recalls#vin
The NHTSA site is really just a portal to Tesla's servers...

Just checked both are fixed on my Beast

I have an existing service appointment and they added both recall repairs to the same appointment ?

I just messeged them in the app with the NHTSA recall numbers and they replied saying they’ve been added to my appointment.

Just curious. Why do you need a service appointment to get a spare tire? Is it anchored in in someway?

They get shipped to the service center, no different than winter wheels + tires. Probably needs to be mounted and balanced and they have the equipment at the service center to do this. My service center is <15 mins away, I have no issues with swinging by.
