2022–2024 Nikola TRE BEV recall: brakes

⚠️ What's wrong

💥 The risk

A parking brake that is not engaged as expected when the driver releases the brakes may allow the vehicle to rollaway, increasing the risk of 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. Nikola's number for this recall is 23VDC0301.

Is the fix free? Yes. Safety recall repairs are free at any authorized dealer under federal law, including parts and labor. (Vehicles more than 15 years old when the recall was announced can be excluded, but most manufacturers still fix them.)
