The defect
Nova Bus (US) Inc. (Nova Bus) is recalling certain 2022-2024 LFS and 2023 LFS Artic transit buses. The remote fuel filter hoses may separate from the fitting, causing a fuel leak and an engine stall.
The risk
A fuel leak in the presence of an ignition source increases the risk of a fire. An engine stall increases the risk of a crash.
The remedy
Nova Bus will replace the fuel hoses, free of charge. Owner notification letters are expected to be mailed December 26, 2026. Owners may contact Nova Bus customer service at 1-800-350-6682. Nova Bus's number for this recall is CR5969.
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.
