Defect Description

Lion Electric Company (Lion) is recalling certain 2019-2025 LionC hybrid electric school buses. The surge tank may move and crack the firewall, allowing the tank to contact and damage the high-voltage cables.

Lion technicians will install a new surge tank support bracket to the accessory plate, 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 R2023-006.
