Electrical System › Propulsion System › Cables › Fastener/Connector (24V460000, 2024-06-20)
Problem: Lion Electric Company (Lion Electric) is recalling certain 2023-2024 LionC school buses. The controller area network (CAN) connector for the high-voltage battery number 4 was incorrectly installed, which can allow water to accumulate and cause a lost connection with the battery.
Risk: A lost connection with the battery can lead to a loss of power steering assist and reduced braking ability, increasing the risk of a crash.
Free fix: Lion Electric will reinstall and replace the CAN connector as necessary, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed July 29, 2024. Owners may contact Lion Electric customer service at 1-855-546-6706. Lion Electric's number for this recall is R2024-010.
Electrical System (23V452000, 2023-06-28)
Problem: Lion Electrical Company (Lion) is recalling certain 2021-2025 LionC school buses. Loose hardware inside the high-voltage distribution unit (HVDU) or direct current junction box (DCJB) enclosures may contact electrical terminals, causing a short circuit.
Risk: A short circuit can shut down the high-voltage circuit, causing a loss of steering assistance or drive power and reducing braking power, increasing the risk of a crash.
Free fix: Lion technicians will replace the hardware, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed August 21, 2023. Owners may contact Lion customer service at 1-855-546-6706. Lion's number for this recall is R2023-007b.
Engine And Engine Cooling (23V448000, 2023-06-27)
Problem: Lion Electric Company (Lion) is recalling certain 2019-2025 LionC hybrid electric school buses. The surge tank may move and crack the firewall, allowing the tank to contact and damage the high-voltage cables.
Risk: Damaged high-voltage cables can shut down the high-voltage circuit, causing a loss of steering assistance or drive power and reducing braking power, increasing the risk of a crash.
Free fix: Lion technicians will install a new surge tank support bracket to the accessory plate, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed August 21, 2023. Owners may contact Lion customer service at 1-855-546-6706. Lion's number for this recall is R2023-006.
Steering › Hydraulic Power Assist › Pump (23V036000, 2023-01-30)
Problem: Lion Electric Company (Lion) is recalling certain 2019-2023 LionC school buses. The rubber mounts used to absorb vibrations from the main hydraulic pump may wear prematurely and fail, resulting in an unsecured pump.
Risk: An unsecured hydraulic pump can cause a loss of power steering assist. In addition, the unsecured pump may damage the low-voltage harness and result in the loss of high voltage power. Either of these scenarios can increase the risk of a crash.
Free fix: Lion Electric Company will dispatch a technician to remove the rubber mounts, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed February 7, 2023. Owners may contact Lion customer service at 1-855-546-6706.
