Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

Lion Electric Company is recalling approximately 133 of its 2019-2025 LionC hybrid electric school buses. In these vehicles, the surge tank can move and crack the bus firewall, which may lead to the tank contacting and damaging high-voltage cables. To fix this issue, Lion technicians will install a new surge tank support bracket to the accessory plate free of charge.

Risk

If the high-voltage cables become damaged, the high-voltage circuit may shut down. This can cause a sudden loss of drive power or steering assistance and reduced braking capability, significantly increasing the risk of a crash.
