Defect

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.

Safety risk

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.

Remedy

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.
