Reported: 2023-01-30 (January 30, 2023)

Consequence: 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.
Remedy: Lion Electric Company will dispatch a technician to remove the rubber mounts, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed February 7, 2023. Owners may contact Lion customer service at 1-855-546-6706.
