Address : NR NR Country : NR Chronology : On October 2, 2022, an Xos customer reported an issue involving fracture of the brake hose on its Xos SV05 vehicle. Xos inspected the vehicle and identified separation of the brake line. Xos subsequently repaired the vehicle, inspected additional vehicles, and began an internal root cause analysis. On October 12, 2022, Xos identified brake line wear following inspection of an in-service SV05 vehicle. The affected hose was replaced and the vehicle was returned to the customer. On November 11, 2022, a second Xos customer reported wear in the rubber brake line. Xos inspected the customer’s vehicles and began replacing impacted components. On November 22, 2022, the topic was presented to Xos’s Product Safety Committee. Based upon the information presented, the Product Safety Committee decided to initiate a safety recall to address this condition. To date, there has been one (1) warranty claim and no reports of accidents or injuries related to this condition. Description of Remedy : Description of Remedy Program : The affected brake lines and related hardware on the affected vehicles will be replaced at no cost to customers. All of the subject vehicles remain under the manufacturer’s warranty. Therefore, pursuant to 49 CFR 577.11 (e), Xos requests an exemption from the reimbursement plan requirements. How Remedy Component Differs The recall remedy component can be distinguished from the recalled Part 573 Safety Recall Report 22V-881 Page 4 The information contained in this report was submitted pursuant to 49 CFR §573 from Recalled Component : component because the remedy component will be correctly routed and installed. Identify How/When Recall Condition was Corrected in Production : On November 18, 2022, process improvement and additional checks were implemented in production. Recall Schedule : Description of Recall Schedule : Xos intends to notify dealers and owners in accordance with the planned notification dates. Planned Dealer Notification Date : DEC 14, 2022 – DEC 14, 2022 Planned Owner Notification Date : DEC 14, 2022 – DEC 14, 2022 * NR – Not Reported

Position the vehicle in the service shop with adequate space to operate the recommended forklift around the front and sides of the vehicle. The vehicle must be lifted approximately 30” off the ground for this repair procedure. Mobile column lifts and heavy duty jack stands can be used to support the front and rear axle. A suitable drive-on lift may also be used if the clearance between ramps is sufficient for the lift table and battery pack to fit between them. The center battery pack can be removed and installed with the recommended lift table. A forklift is NOT recommended for this repair procedure. 2. Unlatch both side hood latches 3. Raise the hood, confirming the passenger side strut engages the lock 4. Turn the master switch OFF and apply appropriate lock-out/tag-out devices to ensure a safe working environment while HV system components are being serviced. 5. REFER TO SECTION 3, Steps 2 – 11, to remove the front battery pack. 6. Raise and support the vehicle at least 30” off the ground to provide sufficient clearance for the center battery pack removal 7. Disconnect the HV positive (+), HV negative (-) and low voltage data connectors from the center battery pack 8. Using the lift table, provide adequate support under the center battery pack to allow removal of the battery-to-frame hardware. SERVICE TIP – Use 2”x4” or 4”x4” wood blocks to minimize battery case scratches and improve maneuverability between the lift table and battery pack. 9. Once the center battery pack is properly supported, remove the battery-to-frame mounting hardware from BOTH brackets on the passenger side of the vehicle. Leave the battery mounts in position, it is not necessary to remove them completely. SERVICE TIP – Remove all fasteners from the mount-to-frame side and battery-to-mount side of each bracket to improve maneuverability.
