Recall 15V077000 · manufacturer campaign CR1332
Electrical System › 12v/24v/48v Battery › Cables — Nova Bus · reported 9 Feb 2015 · 35 vehicles potentially affected
What's wrong
Nova Bus (Nova) is recalling certain model year 2007-2009 LFS transit buses manufactured January 1, 2007, to December 31, 2009. A power feed cable in the battery compartment may have been incorrectly routed and clipped. As a result, the battery cable may prematurely wear and short to ground.
The risk
A battery cable that shorts to ground increases the risk of a fire.
The fix
Nova notified owners, and dealers inspected the buses and correctly routed the battery power feed cable, as necessary, free of charge. Owners may contact Nova customer service at 1-450-472-6410. Nova's number for this recall is CR1332.
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.
