Summary

Nova Bus is recalling 196 of its 2022-2023 LFS transit buses because the power steering hoses may have been manufactured and assembled incorrectly. This defect can cause the hose fitting to detach, leading to a sudden loss of power steering assistance. Nova Bus will inspect all affected vehicles and replace the power steering hoses as necessary, free of charge.

Risk

If the power steering hose detaches, the driver will experience a sudden loss of power steering assist, which requires significantly more physical effort to steer and increases the risk of a crash.
