Nova Bus "US" Inc. "Nova" is recalling certain 2010-2020 LFS Artic and 2012-2024 LFS vehicles. The driver's seat belt may not retract properly. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 209, "Seat Belt Assemblies."
A seat belt that does not retract properly may result in a loose seat belt, which can increase the risk of injury in a crash.
The remedy is currently under development. Interim owner notification letters explaining the safety risk were mailed October 31, 2024. A second notice will be sent once the remedy has been finalized. Nova's number for this recall is CR5635. This recall expands and replaces previous recall number 23V-350. Vehicles that were previously recalled under 23V-350 will need to have the new remedy completed.
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.
