PARKING BRAKE
- The defect
- Nikola Corporation (Nikola) is recalling certain 2022-2024 TRE BEV trucks. The electronic parking brake valve module (PVM) may fail to move into the park position when the parking brake is activated.
- What it can cause
- 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.
- What the dealer does
- 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.
- 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 .

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 April 6, 2023 as campaign 23V249000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
