Recall 22V952000

Suspension › Multiple Axle — Lion · reported 23 Dec 2022 · 13 vehicles potentially affected

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.

The risk

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.
