What this means for you

Our assessment, not the agency’s: severity 3/5 (High).

Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.

Our severity reasoning: The recall involves a structural vehicle defect (parking brake failure) that increases the risk of a crash, but the source text does not report any deaths or serious injuries, placing it in the High severity category.

Plain-English summary

Nikola Corporation is recalling certain 2022-2024 TRE BEV trucks. The recall addresses a defect in the electronic parking brake valve module (PVM), which may fail to move into the park position when the parking brake is activated.

A parking brake that is not engaged as expected when the driver releases the brakes may allow the vehicle to roll away, increasing the risk of a crash.

Dealers will replace the PVM free of charge. Owner notification letters are expected to be mailed May 1, 2023. Owners may contact Nikola customer service at 1-630-808-4531 or the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236.
