Lordstown Quality Issues Force Pickup Recall

Feb. 24, 2023

Lordstown Motors has “paused” production and delivery of its Endurance pickup truck due to “performance and quality” issues with certain components of the truck, according to the company.

It is also recalling 19 Endurance pickup trucks to address an issue with an electrical connection.

“While our experienced team has made significant progress in addressing the underlying component and vehicle sub-system issues affecting the Endurance build schedule, we remain committed to doing the right thing by our customers and to resolve potential issues before resuming production and customer shipments,” said Edward Hightower, president/CEO, in a statement.
