Summary

Lion Electric Company is recalling approximately 32 of its 2021-2023 Lion6 and Lion8 electric vehicles because the miter gear box in the steering system may be incompatible with other parts. This incompatibility can lead to a sudden and complete loss of steering control while driving, which significantly increases the risk of a crash. Lion Electric Company technicians will replace the miter gear box in affected vehicles free of charge to resolve the issue.

Risk

The steering system's miter gear box may not fit correctly with other internal components, potentially causing the steering mechanism to fail entirely. If this happens, the driver will lose the ability to steer the vehicle, which can result in a serious accident.
