What this recall covers

NHTSA's campaign record, quoted as published

The defect

Nova Bus (Nova) is recalling certain model year 2009 LFS transit buses manufactured January 1, 2009, to December 31, 2009. In the affected buses, the brake hose fitting crimping ring may have been damaged and, as a result, the crimping ring may fail where the brake hose attaches to the air brake chamber.

The risk

Failure of the crimping rimgs may affect the braking performance, increasing the risk of a crash.

The remedy

Nova has notified owners, and dealers inspected and replaced the damaged fittings, as necessary, free of charge. Owners may contact Nova customer service at 1-450-472-6410. Nova's number for this recall is CR1430.

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.
