Nova Bus recall: Seats
What is wrong
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.
What could happen
If the seat detaches from the wall, there is an increased risk of injury.

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.
