Nova Bus "US" Inc. "Nova Bus" is recalling certain 2006-2007 LFS transit buses. The buses may have been built with an incorrect number of emergency exits. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 217, "Bus Emergency Exits and Window Retention and Release."
An insufficient number of emergency exits can prevent or delay passengers from exiting during an emergency, increasing their risk of injury.
Nova Bus will replace some windows with emergency exit windows, free of charge. Interim owner notification letters explaining the safety risk were mailed April 11, 2025. A second notice will be sent once the remedy becomes available. Owners may contact Nova Bus customer service at 866-870-2046. Nova Bus's number for this recall is CR5691.
Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 888-327-4236 'TTY 888-275-9171' or go to nhtsa.gov.
