Lordstown doesn't manufacture hub motors.

they buy them in just like steering wheels.

they help design/specify and test them but they are not made in Ohio by Lordstown or Foxconn.

Was amazed they only got 200 or so supplied last year when expected release was in 2021. So may be Foxconn will start to make them?

IMHO the delays of restarting production is more about supply chain guarantees like the hub motors than any recalls. They may be waiting to switch battery technology as well. but once the line starts up however slowly they cannot afford to stop it. So supply chain is imperative
