What this recall covers

NHTSA's campaign record, quoted as published

The defect

Lion Electric Company (Lion Electric) is recalling certain 2024-2025 LionC School Buses. The anti-lock brake system (ABS) pneumatic valve connections and rear wheel speed sensors may be installed incorrectly.

The risk

Incorrectly installed ABS valves and wheel speed sensors can cause a wheel lockup or loss of vehicle control during ABS braking, increasing the risk of a crash.

The remedy

Lion Electric will correct the brake connections, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed December 15, 2023. Owners may contact Lion Electric customer service at 1-855-546-6706. Lion Electric's number for this recall is R2023-008.

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.nhtsa.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.
