Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

Nova Bus is recalling approximately 478 LFS and LFS Artic transit buses from model years 2013 through 2020. These vehicles are equipped with Double Transversal passenger seats where the mounting rails can crack over time. If the rails fail, the seat can detach and fall to the floor while the bus is in motion. Owners will receive a notification letter regarding the risk by April 10, 2026, and a second notice once free replacement brackets are available.

Risk

The passenger seat mounting rails may crack, causing the seat to unexpectedly detach and fall to the floor. This creates an immediate fall hazard for passengers sitting in the seat and a trip or impact hazard for those standing or sitting nearby.

What You Should Do

  1. Identify if your fleet includes 2013-2019 Nova Bus LFS or 2019-2020 Nova Bus LFS Artic transit buses equipped with Double Transversal seats.
  2. Beginning April 11, 2026, you can verify if your specific Vehicle Identification Numbers (VINs) are affected by searching on NHTSA.gov.
  3. Contact Nova Bus customer service at 1-450-472-6410 to discuss the recall (reference manufacturer recall number CR5858).
  4. Schedule a free repair with Nova Bus to have the seat attachment brackets replaced once the remedy parts become available.
