Nova Bus "US" Inc. "Nova Bus" is recalling certain 2017-2019 LFS and LFS Artic buses. The driver's door windows may have been built with the incorrect prime glazing manufacturer DOT code mark. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 205, "Glazing Materials."
An incorrect DOT code mark may result in the window being replaced with an incorrect type of glass, reducing visibility and increasing the risk of a crash.
Nova Bus will inspect the windows and either replace the windows or remove the incorrect marking, free of charge. Interim letters notifying owners of the safety risk were mailed March 19, 2024. A second notice will be sent once the remedy becomes available. Owners may contact Nova Bus customer service at 1-800-350-6682. Nova Bus number for this recall is CR5546.
Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 'TTY 1-800-424-9153', or go to www.nhtsa.gov.
