Nova Bus "Nova" is recalling certain model year 2013 Nova LFS transit buses. The bolt used to secure the windshield wiper linkage to the wiper motor may become loose over time.
If the windshield wiper linkage loosens from the wiper motor, the wipers may become inoperable, reducing the driver's visibility and increasing the risk of a crash.
Nova will notify owners, and dealers will replace the bolt and nut that attach the windshield wiper linkage to the wiper motor, free of charge. The recall began in late September 2014. Owners may contact Nova customer service at 1-800-350-6682.
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.safercar.gov.
