A week prior, the company announced the voluntary recall of roughly 209 Class 8 Tre battery-electric vehicles, causing shares to fall as well. Nikola cited precautionary measures as the reason for the decision.

In early August, the stock traded lower in light of the abrupt announcement that Michael Lohscheller would step down as President and CEO. Steve Girsky took the position of CEO. Mixed second-quarter results also contributed to the price action.
