Nova Bus "US" Inc. "Nova" is recalling certain 2019-2023 LFS and LFS Artic transit buses. The transmission yoke may separate, resulting in driveshaft separation and a sudden loss of drive power.
A sudden loss of drive power can increase the risk of a crash. Additionally, a disabled bus may require an evacuation procedure in an uncontrolled traffic situation, increasing the risk of injury to passengers.
Dealers will inspect the output yoke bolts, and if necessary, tighten loose output yoke bolts, free of charge. Interim letters informing owners of the safety risk were mailed on October 27, 2023. A second notice will be mailed once the remedy is available. Owners may contact Nova customer service at 1-800-350-6682. Nova's number for this recall is CR5442.
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.
