NHTSA Campaign Number: 23V114
Manufacturer LORDSTOWN EV CORP
Components ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
Potential Number of Units Affected 19
Summary
Lordstown EV Corp (Lordstown) is recalling certain 2023 Endurance electric pickup trucks. The high-voltage cable between the inverter and motor may experience a fault that causes a loss of drive power and the vehicle cannot be restarted once turned off.
Remedy
Lordstown will replace the high-voltage cable assembly, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed March 10, 2023. Owners may contact Lordstown customer service at 1-248-522-9100.
Notes
Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.nhtsa.gov.
Chronology :
On January 20, 2023, a vehicle owned and operated by Lordstown EV Corporation (Lordstown) experienced a loss of propulsion. Subsequent similar events were reported on other Lordstown controlled vehicles in the following days, and all after a major snow event in the Detroit area.
On February 1, 2023, Lordstown received a report of a customer vehicle (also in Detroit) that had also experienced a loss of propulsion and shifted itself out of Drive while at a stop, before it was delivered to Lordstown for analysis. Plant production was already on hold when these events occurred, and production remains on hold.
Parts analysis was conducted by the supplier between January 24, 2023 and early February which consisted of hi-pot testing, optical imaging, 2D xray, cross section w/ optical images, CT 2D slice view, and CT 3D views.
Lordstown received feedback on the supplier’s testing between January 24, 2023 and February 7, 2023 and considered the testing results, the part failure mode, and the gradual and controlled manner in which the vehicle could lose power. On February 21, 2023, Lordstown decided to conduct a recall to address this issue.

IMPORTANT SAFETY RECALL
This notice applies to your vehicle: XXXXX
Dear XXXXXXX:
This notice is being sent to you in accordance with the National Traffic and Motor Vehicle Safety Act. Lordstown EV Corporation (“Lordstown”, “we”, or “us”) has decided that a defect, which relates to motor vehicle safety, exists in certain Model Year 2023 Lordstown Endurance vehicles. Our records indicate that your vehicle is included in the affected population of vehicles.
We apologize for this situation and look forward to working diligently to correct this issue.
What is the issue?
On your vehicle, a high-voltage cable assembly between an inverter and a hub motor may lose high-voltage isolation.
What is the risk?
If high-voltage isolation is lost, then the vehicle may suffer an unexpected reduction of power and eventual loss of propulsion and once the vehicle is turned off it cannot be restarted. This could result in an increased risk of a crash.
What will Lordstown do?
Lordstown will replace each of the four (4) high-voltage cable assemblies on your vehicle at no charge to you. The repair is expected to take about 8 hours to complete.
What are your next steps?
If Lordstown has not already performed this repair, please contact Lordstown at 1-855-RIDE-LMC (1-855-743-3562) or [email protected] to schedule an appointment for Lordstown to perform this repair.
What if you no longer own this vehicle?
If you no longer own your vehicle, and have an address for the current owner, please forward this letter to the new owner and also let us know that you no longer own the vehicle.
Do you have additional questions or concerns?
Please do not hesitate to reach out to us at 1-855-RIDE-LMC (1-855-743-3562) or [email protected] to discuss any questions or concerns you have.
For additional information, please visit NHTSA.gov/recalls. You are having difficulty getting your vehicle repaired in a reasonable time or without charge, you may submit a complaint to the

On January 20, 2023, a vehicle owned and operated by Lordstown EV Corporation (Lordstown) experienced a loss of propulsion. Subsequent similar events were reported on other Lordstown controlled vehicles in the following days, and all after a major snow event in the Detroit area. On February 1, 2023, Lordstown received a report of a customer vehicle (also in Detroit) that had also experienced a loss of propulsion and shifted itself out of Drive while at a stop, before it was delivered to Lordstown for analysis. Plant production was already on The information contained in this report was submitted pursuant to 49 CFR §573 Part 573 Safety Recall Report 23V-114

hold when these events occurred, and production remains on hold. Parts analysis was conducted by the supplier between January 24, 2023 and early February which consisted of hi-pot testing, optical imaging, 2D x- ray, cross section w/ optical images, CT 2D slice view, and CT 3D views. Lordstown received feedback on the supplier’s testing between January 24, 2023 and February 7, 2023 and considered the testing results, the part failure mode, and the gradual and controlled manner in which the vehicle could lose power. On February 21, 2023, Lordstown decided to conduct a recall to address this issue.
Description of Remedy :
Description of Remedy Program : Supplier has developed a new version of the part (BB-level) that will
increase the high voltage isolation barrier. Lordstown will replace BA- level busbars with new BB-level busbars in all vehicles at no cost to owners. How Remedy Component Differs from Recalled Component : Identify How/When Recall Condition was Corrected in Production : The busbar overmold holes are redesigned, and an increased level of epoxy is applied in the redesigned parts. BB-level busbars part numbers are marked on the busbars themselves, which distinguishes them from the BA-level parts.
Only new BB-level busbars will be utilized in future production; BA-level busbars will be marked and destroyed. All vehicles inside the gate at the factory will be refit with BB-level busbars.

hold when these events occurred, and production remains on hold. Parts analysis was conducted by the supplier between January 24, 2023 and early February which consisted of hi-pot testing, optical imaging, 2D x- ray, cross section w/ optical images, CT 2D slice view, and CT 3D views. Lordstown received feedback on the supplier’s testing between January 24, 2023 and February 7, 2023 and considered the testing results, the part failure mode, and the gradual and controlled manner in which the vehicle could lose power. On February 21, 2023, Lordstown decided to conduct a recall to address this issue.
Description of Remedy :
Description of Remedy Program : Supplier has developed a new version of the part (BB-level) that will
increase the high voltage isolation barrier. Lordstown will replace BA- level busbars with new BB-level busbars in all vehicles at no cost to owners. This part is covered under the vehicle warranty program, and reimbursement for a pre-notification remedy under 29 C.F.R. 573.13 and Part 577.11 is not necessary. How Remedy Component Differs from Recalled Component : Identify How/When Recall Condition was Corrected in Production : The busbar overmold holes are redesigned, and an increased level of epoxy is applied in the redesigned parts. BB-level busbars part numbers are marked on the busbars themselves, which distinguishes them from the BA-level parts.
Only new BB-level busbars will be utilized in future production; BA-level busbars will be marked and destroyed. All vehicles inside the gate at the factory will be refit with BB-level busbars.
