The defect
Lion Electric Company (Lion) is recalling certain 2019-2023 LionC school buses. The rubber mounts used to absorb vibrations from the main hydraulic pump may wear prematurely and fail, resulting in an unsecured pump.
The risk
An unsecured hydraulic pump can cause a loss of power steering assist. In addition, the unsecured pump may damage the low-voltage harness and result in the loss of high voltage power. Either of these scenarios can increase the risk of a crash.
