Nikola recalls 209 trucks after determining a battery fire was due to a leak \u2014 not sabotage.<\/p>\n

Theranos-adjacent<\/a> trucking company Nikola Motors admitted late Friday night<\/a> that \u201ca coolant leak inside a single battery pack was found to be the probable cause of the truck fire\u201d at its HQ on June 23rd. The company blames a supplier component for the leak and says it\u2019s working on a fix for affected trucks, which can stay in service. (via Wall Street Journal<\/em><\/a>).<\/p>\n

Oh, and as for its initial claim<\/a> that \u201cfoul play is suspected\u201d? Here\u2019s the explanation:<\/p>\n

\n

The company\u2019s initial statement on June 23 alluded to foul play as a possible cause of the incident, based on video footage showing a vehicle parked next to the impacted trucks and quickly pulling away after a bright flash and the commencement of the fire. Extensive internal and third party-led hypothesis testing, employee and contractor interviews, and hours of video footage review has since suggested foul play or other external factors were unlikely to have caused the incident.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
