PARKING BRAKE
- The defect
- Lion Electric Company (Lion Electric) is recalling certain 2020-2022 Lion C school buses. The parking brake may fail if it is not properly adjusted. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 105, "Hydraulic and Electric Brake Systems."
- What it can cause
- Failure of the parking brake increases the risk of a crash.
- What the dealer does
- Dealers will reroute the cable and adjust the parking lever, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed on August 16, 2022. Owners may contact Lion Electric's customer service at 1-855-546-6706.
- NHTSA's note
- 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.
The repair is free, whatever the age or mileage of the vehicle, and whether or not you are the original owner.
Which vehicles
A recall reaches a range of VINs inside these model years, not every car built in them. Yours may not be covered even if it is listed here, and the only way to find out is NHTSA's own VIN lookup .

Check your own car
A VIN check is the only answer for a specific vehicle, and it also shows every other open recall on it, which is usually the reason it is worth doing rather than reading one campaign.
Filed by Lion Electric Company with NHTSA on July 22, 2022 as campaign 22V530000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
