2020–2022 Lion LION6, Lion LION8: Suspension recall
NHTSA campaign 22V952000 · 13 units potentially affected · filed Dec 23, 2022
What's wrong
Lion Electric Company (Lion) is recalling certain 2020-2022 Lion6 and Lion8 vehicles. The rear axle adjusting ring fasteners were not tightened properly on the passenger-side, which can cause premature wear on the suspension and differential components.
Why it matters
The suspension can separate from the frame, causing a loss of vehicle control and increasing the risk of a crash.
The fix
Lion will inspect and tighten the fasteners as necessary, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed on January 16, 2023. Owners may contact Lion's customer service at 1-855-546-6706.
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.
