What this recall covers

NHTSA's campaign record, quoted as published

The defect

Lion Electric Company (Lion) is recalling certain 2018 Lion C electric school buses. The electrical contacts for power connector of the auxiliary brake pump may not be adequately secured.

The risk

Loose connectors in the auxiliary pump may result in a loss of braking ability should the main hydraulic pump unexpectedly fail, increasing the risk of a crash.

The remedy

Lion will notify the affected owners and Lion representatives will visit the owners and correct the connectors, free of charge. The recall began May 16, 2019. Owners may contact Lion customer service at 1-855-546-6706. Lion's number for this recall is QA20190050.

Notes

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.safercar.gov.

A safety recall is issued when a manufacturer or NHTSA determines that a vehicle has a safety-related defect or does not comply with a federal motor vehicle safety standard. Recall repairs are free. Whether a specific vehicle is covered depends on its VIN — a recall listed for a model year does not necessarily apply to every vehicle of that year.
