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.

Tongzhou District, Nantong Nantong, Jiangsu Foreign States 226300 Country : China 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 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. 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.
