Lordstown is recalling a total of just five Endurance electric pickup trucks, which were produced between November 7 and December 7, 2022, due to a bad washer in the parking brake supplied to it by Akebono. The washer, it turns out, had not been properly heat treated, which could cause it to wear excessively over time.
The automaker was first made aware of the issue on February 20, when Akebono told it that certain rear electric parking brake calipers could contain thrust washers, supplied to it by a sub-supplier, affected by the heat treating error.

Lordstown then launched an analysis of data supplied to it by Akebono and, on March 1, decided to launch a recall. Fortunately, it is not aware of any accidents or injuries related to the issue.
If the washer does wear excessively, the clamping force of the parking brake is likely to degrade over time. That could be an issue, especially if an owner parks their vehicle on a hill, because it would increase the risk of the vehicle rolling away, which could lead to a crash.
Unfortunately, the nature of the issue means that the owner will not receive any warning about a problem developing. Lordstown says, though, that it started reaching out to affected Endurance customers on March 3.
The automaker says that it will replace the parking brakes in affected vehicles at no cost to the owner. The new parts will have washers that were correctly heat treated, thanks to a new marking system that helps the supplier better track its parts.
