SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:PEDALS AND LINKAGES
- The defect
- Nikola Corporation (Nikola) is recalling certain 2022 TRE BEV vehicles. The shaft locking screw on the brake pedal may be missing or may not be fully threaded, which can cause the brake pedal to detach.
- What it can cause
- A detached brake pedal can cause a loss of pedal function, increasing the risk of a crash.
- What the dealer does
- Dealers will repair or replace the brake pedal units as necessary, free of charge. All vehicles were inspected and repaired by November 1, 2022. Owners may contact Nikola customer service at 1-630-808-4531. Nikola's number for this recall is 22VDC0908.
- NHTSA's note
- Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.nhtsa.gov.
The repair is free, whatever the age or mileage of the vehicle, and whether or not you are the original owner.
Which vehicles
A recall reaches a range of VINs inside these model years, not every car built in them. Yours may not be covered even if it is listed here, and the only way to find out is NHTSA's own VIN lookup .

How this campaign compares
At 137 vehicles this is a small campaign: 66% of the 19,818 vehicle recalls filed since 1995 whose size NHTSA published are as large or larger. The middle campaign on file covers 472. It covers one model year, 2022, so the oldest vehicles on it were one model year old when the defect was reported to NHTSA.
The vehicles on this campaign carry 4 other recalls published here: 24V844000 (electrical system), 23V580000 (electrical system), 23V249000 (parking brake), 22V689000 (seat belts).
Check your own car
A VIN check is the only answer for a specific vehicle, and it also shows every other open recall on it, which is usually the reason it is worth doing rather than reading one campaign.
Filed by Nikola Corporation with NHTSA on February 16, 2023 as campaign 23V090000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
