Lion Electric Company is recalling approximately 43 of its 2024-2025 LionC school buses because the parking brake lever may malfunction. The defect allows the parking brake to release without the operator pressing the release button, which can lead to the vehicle rolling away unexpectedly. Lion Electric is offering a free inspection and will replace the parking brake levers as necessary to ensure vehicle safety.
A parking brake that releases unexpectedly can cause the bus to roll away while parked, which significantly increases the risk of a crash or injury to passengers, pedestrians, or the driver.
