Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

Nova Bus (US) Inc. is recalling approximately 608 buses, including 2021-2022 LFS Artic and 2021-2023 LFS models. The alternator power cable nut on these vehicles may not have been tightened properly during manufacturing. If the nut is loose, it can lead to electrical arcing, which significantly increases the risk of a fire. Owners can take their vehicles to an authorized service provider to have the power cable nut inspected and tightened as necessary at no cost.

Risk

A loose alternator power cable nut can create an unstable electrical connection, causing electrical arcing. This discharge of electricity generates intense heat that can ignite nearby materials and lead to a vehicle fire.
