Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

Lion Electric Company is recalling 13 of its 2020-2022 Lion6 and Lion8 electric vehicles because the rear axle adjusting ring fasteners on the passenger side were not tightened correctly. This manufacturing defect can lead to premature wear on the vehicle's suspension and differential parts. If left unaddressed, the suspension could separate from the frame, causing a sudden loss of steering and vehicle control. Lion Electric will inspect and tighten the fasteners for all affected owners at no cost.

Risk

The loose fasteners can cause the suspension system to detach from the vehicle frame while driving, which may result in a total loss of vehicle control and significantly increases the risk of a crash.

  2. Contact Lion Electric Company customer service at 1-855-546-6706 to schedule a free inspection and repair of the rear axle adjusting ring fasteners.
  3. Ensure the fasteners are properly tightened by an authorized technician to prevent premature suspension wear or frame separation.
