San Francisco, Aug 14 : Trucking company Nikola Motors has announced a voluntary recall of approximately 209 battery-electric vehicles (BEVs), after a coolant leak inside a single battery pack was found to be the probable cause of the truck fire at its headquarters.

Internal investigations indicated a single supplier component within the battery pack as the likely source of the coolant leak and "efforts are underway to provide a field remedy in the coming weeks," the automaker said in a statement. 

"These actions do not affect the hydrogen fuel cell electric vehicle (FCEV) currently in production as the truck’s battery pack has a different design," said the company.
