Nikola Corporation is recalling 137 of its 2022 TRE BEV vehicles due to a manufacturing defect where the brake pedal's shaft locking screw may be missing or improperly tightened. This defect can lead to the brake pedal detaching entirely during operation. Nikola has already inspected and repaired all affected vehicles as of November 1, 2022, but owners of these vehicles should confirm their status with the manufacturer. Dealers will repair or replace the brake pedal units free of charge if necessary.
If the brake pedal detaches from its shaft while driving, the driver will lose the ability to use the foot brake, which significantly increases the risk of a vehicle crash.
You have 2 options:
