What's wrong?
The instrument cluster in a 2022-2023 Nikola Tre BEV truck is the main display in front of the driver. It shows speed, driving range, state of charge, gear selection, tire-pressure warnings, and other telltales the driver needs to operate the truck and meet federal display requirements.
In these trucks, a resistor inside the instrument cluster degrades over time from in-rush current, the electrical surge that happens when the display powers up. Once that resistor fails, the instrument cluster goes black. A blank cluster prevents the driver from seeing required gauges and warnings, even though the vehicle continues to operate.
The warning sign is the cluster going black for 3 to 5 seconds and then returning. If that happens, treat it as a cluster fault, because the same failure path can become permanent.
Who's affected?
Both model years use the same instrument panel identified in the recall.
| 2023 Nikola Tre BEV | instrument panel |
|---|---|
| 2022 Nikola Tre BEV | instrument panel |
| Units affected | 72 |
| Field incidents | NHTSA has logged no field incidents to date. |
The year and model narrow the scope, but the VIN decides. Check your VIN to confirm whether your specific truck is included.
What's the safety risk?
If the instrument panel goes black, the driver loses speedometer and warning light information for 3 to 5 seconds even though the vehicle keeps operating. That loss of critical safety information increases crash risk. If it happens, drive cautiously, note the event, and schedule the free panel replacement. Repair is free at any franchised Nikola dealer.
What should I do?
- Check your VIN to confirm your 2022-2023 Nikola Tre BEV is included in this recall.
- Contact a franchised Nikola dealer to schedule the free instrument-panel replacement that fixes the loss of speedometer and warning-light display.
- Bring the recall notice if Nikola mailed one. If not, reference recall number 24V844 when you call.
- Avoid driving with a failed instrument panel because the truck loses critical safety information, including the speedometer and warning lights.
What happens at the repair
At the dealer, a Nikola technician replaces the instrument panel covered by the recall. The replacement parts and labor are free under the recall. Nikola is not offering a separate reimbursement program because the affected vehicles are under warranty. If you have prior repair paperwork for this instrument panel issue, ask the service desk how warranty coverage applies before the repair order is closed.
