Troubled electric truck maker Nikola Motors has run into more strife, with its announcement this week that it is recalling of 209 trucks following a fire that damaged the company’s Phoenix headquarters in Arizona in June.
Nikola’s heavy duty Tre battery electric trucks are impacted by the recall, which involved a defect in the battery, the company said in a news release late last week.
The truck maker said the recall is a “precautionary measure.” and that it had identified the source of the blaze: a defective battery component in one of the trucks affected by the recall.
