Nikola Vehicles Recalled

Phoenix-based Nikola is recalling all its vehicles due to a problem with their seat belts. Nikola Corp. (NASDAQ:NKLA) has made 93 battery-electric trucks, and all of them need seat belt fixes, according to a Sept. 14 report with the NHTSA. The news was first reported by AutoEvolution.com last week.

In its report to the NHTSA, Nikola said the seat belt shoulder anchorage assembly on certain 2022 Tre BEV trucks could be improperly installed and weakened. “The assembly as designed and installed could detach when loaded”

Nikola said in a statement that the Tre BEV truck’s seat belt mount was not properly secured once, with no crashes or injuries. Nikola is repairing the seat belt mount on 93 model year 2022 Tre BEV trucks, including sold and pre-series models. This seat belt recall affects only U.S. models, not EU trucks.
