Nova Bus (US) Inc. is recalling 416 LFS and LFS Artic transit buses from various model years between 2016 and 2023. The driver's seat belt tension-relieving device may fail to release properly without manual intervention, preventing the belt from providing adequate protection. This defect means the vehicles do not comply with federal safety standards for occupant crash protection. A remedy is currently being developed, and owners will be notified when the free repair is available.
If the tension-relieving device fails, the seat belt may not properly restrain the driver during a sudden stop or collision, significantly increasing the risk of injury. No incidents or injuries have been reported at this time.
The remedy is currently under development.
