What’s wrong with it?
A lost connection with the battery can lead to a loss of power steering assist and reduced braking ability, increasing the risk of a crash.
Lion Electric Company (Lion Electric) is recalling certain 2023-2024 LionC school buses.
The controller area network (CAN) connector for the high-voltage battery number 4 was incorrectly installed, which can allow water to accumulate and cause a lost connection with the battery.
