OMB Control No.: 2127-0004 Part 573 Safety Recall Report 22V-148 The information contained in this report was submitted pursuant to 49 CFR §573 Manufacturer Name : Vicinity Motor Corporation Submission Date : MAY 24, 2022 NHTSA Recall No. : 22V-148 Manufacturer Recall No. : Campaign 000-043 Manufacturer Information : Manufacturer Name : Vicinity Motor Corporation Address : 3168 – 262nd Street Aldergrove 00 V4W 2Z6 Company phone : 1-604-607-4000 Population : Number of potentially involved : 92 Estimated percentage with defect : 19 % Vehicle Information : Part 573 Safety Recall Report 22V-148 Page 2 The information contained in this report was submitted pursuant to 49 CFR §573 Part 573 Safety Recall Report 22V-148 Page 3 The information contained in this report was submitted pursuant to 49 CFR §573 Vehicle 1 : 2020-2021 Vicinity Vi38 Vehicle Type : LOW VOLUME VEHICLES Body Style : OTHER Power Train : DIESEL Descriptive Information : An investigation was carried out in tandem with manufacturing and supply partners, and it was determined that the defect (steering box setup and alignment of IFS steering axle) is limited to the batch of vehicles that were produced for Delta Airlines in the US – 92 Vi38 Buses. Quality Assurance mechanisms were likely compromised for this batch of vehicles due to personnel changes and training shortcomings. To date, all warranty claims citing this defect have been limited to the Delta Airlines population and have manifested shortly after the vehicles entered service, with the failures occurring at an average of 6081miles. Conversely, vehicles that were produced prior to this batch have been in operation for a far greater period of time, and have substantially higher average accumulated mileage (169,368mi.) without any exhibiting the same defect.

FMVSS 1 : NR FMVSS 2 : NR Description of the Safety Risk : Our analysis has indicated that the combination of the two deficiencies (described under the cause section) could occur simultaneously, leading to an overload situation of the power steering box. This could lead to damage of the steering box housing, including fracture of the mounting lugs and possible loss of steering control, which may result in a crash and/or bodily injury. Description of the Cause : Data indicates the cause of the defect is likely due to the setup of the steering box and alignment of the IFS steering axle. Specifically, the following deficiencies were noted: 1- The end-of-travel pressure relief plungers on the Sheppard M100PNA3 power steering box were incorrectly set. This would result in excessive forces on the steering system when at full-lock. 2- The cut-angles of the wheels were seen to been in excess of the manufacture’s specifications. This could result in the internal mechanisms of the steering box bottoming-out. If bump-steer inherent to the IFS system would occur simultaneously to the box being bottomed-out the shock load would be transmitted directly to the power steering box. Identification of Any Warning that can Occur : Noisy steering, poor steering performance, or complete loss of steering.

H. Sheppard Co., Inc. Address : 2770 Research Dr. Rochester Hills Michigan 48309-4901 Country : United States Chronology : An warranty claim pertaining to the defect was first reported in late Sept. 2021. citing a fracture of the steering box mounting tabs on a vehicle operated in the US population. It was suspected that external impact may have played a role in the fracture, however as further failures occurred in Oct. 2021, a determination was made to the existence of a safety related defect on Oct. 16th 2021. An investigation was launched in conjunction with R. H. Sheppard Co., Inc.’s Engineering Center, on Oct.18th 2021. An engineer was sent to investigate the tentative root cause, from Oct. 24th to 28th 2021. Recurring meetings with Sheppard began on Nov. 4th 2021 to discuss findings, tests, and the cause of the issue. An initial campaign was released on Oct. 27th 2021, to notify the customer of the need for inspection. Campaign updates were issued to customers as the scope was further refined over the following months, as the likely cause for the defect was identified. Following campaign update releases (MM/DD/YY): Release 2:12/13/21 – Revised steering angles and part numbers Release 3:01/14/22 – Updated affected VINs Release 4:02/01/22 – Added Canadian VINs By Nov. 2021, replacement parts began being stocked to supply customers. The failure mode is being confirmed, with further testing and analysis to be carried out with Sheppard.

Quality Assurance mechanisms were likely compromised for this batch of vehicles due to personnel changes and training shortcomings. To date, all warranty claims citing this defect have been limited to the Delta Airlines population and have manifested shortly after the vehicles entered service, with the failures occurring at an average of 6081miles. Conversely, vehicles that were produced prior to this batch have been in operation for a far greater period of time, and have substantially higher average accumulated mileage (169,368mi.) without any exhibiting the same defect.

FMVSS 1 : NR FMVSS 2 : NR Description of the Safety Risk : Our analysis has indicated that the combination of the two deficiencies (described under the cause section) could occur simultaneously, leading to an overload situation of the power steering box. This could lead to damage of the steering box housing, including fracture of the mounting lugs and possible loss of steering control, which may result in a crash and/or bodily injury. Description of the Cause : Data indicates the cause of the defect is likely due to the setup of the steering box and alignment of the IFS steering axle. Specifically, the following deficiencies were noted: 1- The end-of-travel pressure relief plungers on the Sheppard M100PNA3 power steering box were incorrectly set. This would result in excessive forces on the steering system when at full-lock. 2- The cut-angles of the wheels were seen to been in excess of the manufacture’s specifications. This could result in the internal mechanisms of the steering box bottoming-out. If bump-steer inherent to the IFS system would occur simultaneously to the box being bottomed-out the shock load would be transmitted directly to the power steering box. Identification of Any Warning that can Occur : Noisy steering, poor steering performance, or complete loss of steering.

H. Sheppard Co., Inc. Address : 2770 Research Dr. Rochester Hills Michigan 48309-4901 Country : United States Chronology : An warranty claim pertaining to the defect was first reported in late September 2021. It cited a fracture of the steering box mounting tabs on a vehicle operated in the US population. It was suspected that external impact may have played a role in the fracture, however as further failures occurred in October 2021, it became clear that there was a systemic issue and an investigation was launched in conjunction with R. H. Sheppard Co., Inc.’s Engineering Center. The initial campaign was released by October 2021, to notify the customer of the need for inspection. Over the following months, as the likely cause for the defect was identified, campaign updates were issued to the customer as the scope was further refined. Description of Remedy : Description of Remedy Program : Reimbursement and Remedy costs have been covered, and will continue to be covered under warranty to rectify this issue. Approximate costs incurred to remedy the defect: Without Steering Box Replacement: Labor costs: Up to 150 CAD/hr for 3.5 hrs of work Miscellaneous costs: 10 CAD With Steering Box Replacement: Labor costs: Up to 150 CAD/hr for 4 hrs of work Miscellaneous costs: 10 CAD Steering gear box: 452.45 CAD Bracket: 190.04 CAD How Remedy Component Differs from Recalled Component : The components are identical – The distinguishing feature being the correct setup of the component during installation and alignment.
