Nova Bus "Nova" is recalling certain model year 2009 LFS transit buses manufactured January 1, 2009, to December 31, 2009. In the affected buses, the brake hose fitting crimping ring may have been damaged and, as a result, the crimping ring may fail where the brake hose attaches to the air brake chamber.
Failure of the crimping rimgs may affect the braking performance, increasing the risk of a crash.
Nova has notified owners, and dealers inspected and replaced the damaged fittings, as necessary, free of charge. Owners may contact Nova customer service at 1-450-472-6410. Nova's number for this recall is CR1430.
