What this recall covers

NHTSA's campaign record, quoted as published

The defect

Nova Bus is recalling certain model year 2012 LFS transit buses manufactured June 27, 2012, to October 15, 2012, and equipped with slim flip-up seats. In the affected vehicles, the anchor rivnut may not properly secure one end of the seat to the bus wall.

The risk

If the seat detaches from the wall, there is an increased risk of injury.

The remedy

Nova Bus will notify owners, and dealers will inspect and replace the anchor rivnut, as necessary, free of charge. The recall began December 19, 2014. Owners may contact Nova Bus customer service at 1-800-350-6682. Nova Bus' number for this recall is CR3280.

Notes

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.

A safety recall is issued when a manufacturer or NHTSA determines that a vehicle has a safety-related defect or does not comply with a federal motor vehicle safety standard. Recall repairs are free. Whether a specific vehicle is covered depends on its VIN — a recall listed for a model year does not necessarily apply to every vehicle of that year.
