The 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.
The 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.
The 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.
