2021–2025 Lion Lionc: Electrical System recall
NHTSA campaign 23V452000 · 65 units potentially affected · filed Jun 28, 2023
What's wrong
Lion Electrical Company (Lion) is recalling certain 2021-2025 LionC school buses. Loose hardware inside the high-voltage distribution unit (HVDU) or direct current junction box (DCJB) enclosures may contact electrical terminals, causing a short circuit.
Why it matters
A short circuit can shut down the high-voltage circuit, causing a loss of steering assistance or drive power and reducing braking power, increasing the risk of a crash.
The fix
Lion technicians will replace the hardware, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed August 21, 2023. Owners may contact Lion customer service at 1-855-546-6706. Lion's number for this recall is R2023-007b.
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.
