This Class 8 Semi Truck vehicle has experienced a total of five roadside propulsion outages resulting in three towings and two instances whereby the truck was operated in battery only mode at reduced power to reach the next hydrogen fueling station. The error codes included "Fuel Cell Shutdown" and "Tank Valve Error". This has occurred with a remaining mileage range between 20 and 140 miles making it difficult and possibly unsafe to rely on the vehicle for both operator safety and cargo security. The incidents occurred between January 2024 and October 2024 with no technical resolution by the dealer(s) or manufacturer Nikola. All incidents were reported at the time to the Nikola and the owner has actively engaged in trying to bring about a resolution. The OEM does not provide service reports. The first incident occurred at roughly 900 miles and the last most recent around 28340 miles. It is the understanding this is a product wide issue and not isolated.
