What's wrong

Nova Bus (Nova) is recalling certain 2016-2019 LFS buses. The safety mechanism that automatically re-opens the pneumatic rear passenger door in case of an obstruction may be inactive under certain conditions, allowing the doors to continue to close.

The risk

The rear doors may continue to close while an occupant is in the doorway, increasing the risk of an injury.

The fix

Nova will notify owners and will update the software for the safety mechanism, free of charge. The recall began July 9, 2020. 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.
