Lion Electric Company "Lion Electric" is recalling certain 2023-2024 LionC school buses. The controller area network "CAN" connector for the high-voltage battery number 4 was incorrectly installed, which can allow water to accumulate and cause a lost connection with the battery.
A lost connection with the battery can lead to a loss of power steering assist and reduced braking ability, increasing the risk of a crash.
Lion Electric will reinstall and replace the CAN connector as necessary, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed July 29, 2024. Owners may contact Lion Electric customer service at 1-855-546-6706. Lion Electric's number for this recall is R2024-010.
Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 'TTY 1-800-424-9153', or go to www.nhtsa.gov.
