Lion C: Brakes

Affects Lion C · 2018–2019 — about 60 vehicles.

The hazard

Issue: On some electric school buses, a lack of pressure from the hydraulic pump could cause a loss of power assist to the braking and steering systems. This would cause reduced braking performance and increased steering effort. Safety Risk: Loss of steering assist could result in a sudden increase in steering effort, especially at low speeds. Reduced braking performance could cause extended stopping distances. Both of these conditions can increase the risk of a crash. Corrective Actions: The Lion Electric Company will notify the owners by mail. In addition, they will contact you by telephone to schedule an appointment for a Lion technician to change the hydraulic system pressure valve.
