PARKING BRAKE
- The defect
- Lion Electric Company (Lion Electric) is recalling certain 2024-2025 LionC school buses. The parking brake may malfunction and allow the lever to be released without pressing the release button.
- What it can cause
- A parking brake that is released unexpectedly may result in a vehicle roll away, increasing the risk of a crash or injury.
- What the dealer does
- Lion Electric will provide inspection instructions to owners, and replace the parking brake levers as necessary, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed July 25, 2024. Owners may contact Lion Electric customer service at 1-855-546-6706. Lion Electric's number for this recall is R2024-01-009.
- 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 .

How this campaign compares
At 43 vehicles this is a small campaign: 79% of the 19,818 vehicle recalls filed since 1995 whose size NHTSA published are as large or larger. The middle campaign on file covers 472. It covers model years 2024 to 2025, and the defect was reported to NHTSA in 2024, at or before the oldest model year it covers — as current as a recall gets.
Lion vehicles have been recalled over the parking brake once before this, most recently in July 2022 as 22V530000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
The vehicles on this campaign carry 4 other recalls published here: 24V460000 (electrical system), 23V710000 (service brakes, air), 23V452000 (electrical system), 23V448000 (engine and engine cooling).
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 May 29, 2024 as campaign 24V377000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
