Summary

Lion Electric Company "Lion" is recalling certain 2020-2022 Lion6 and Lion8 vehicles. The rear axle adjusting ring fasteners were not tightened properly on the passenger-side, which can cause premature wear on the suspension and differential components.

Consequence

The suspension can separate from the frame, causing a loss of vehicle control and increasing the risk of a crash.

Remedy

Lion will inspect and tighten the fasteners as necessary, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed on January 16, 2023. Owners may contact Lion's customer service at 1-855-546-6706.
