Lion Electrical Company "Lion" is recalling certain 2021-2025 LionC school buses. Loose hardware inside the high-voltage distribution unit "HVDU" or direct current junction box "DCJB" enclosures may contact electrical terminals, causing a short circuit.
A short circuit 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.
Lion technicians will replace the hardware, 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 R2023-007b.
