Lordstown Motors' problems aren't over just because it's manufacturing electric pickup trucks. The fledgling brand is pausing production and customer deliveries to help it tackle "performance and quality issues" with some components in its Endurance truck. Accordingly, it's partnering with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) on a voluntary recall to fix a connection problem that could cut motor output while driving.
The recall will affect 19 vehicles already on the road, some of which were in use at Lordstown. The company isn't offering an estimate as to when production will resume, but claims it's making "significant progress" on component and subsystem issues holding up manufacturing. More details are expected to come when the firm holds its next earnings call on the morning of March 6th.
