Nova Bus recall: Service brakes, air
What is wrong
Nova Bus (Nova) is recalling certain model year 2006 LFS transit buses manufactured January 1, 2006, to December 31, 2006. In the affected vehicles, the air lines for the rear brake system may have an incorrectly positioned retaining ring (ferrule).
What could happen
The incorrectly positioned retaining ring may allow the air line to detach, compromising the rear axle braking performance and increasing the risk of a crash.
The fix
Nova has notified owners, and dealers have inspected the air lines and repositioned the ferrules, as necessary, free of charge. Owners may contact Nova customer service at 1-450-472-6410. Nova's number for this recall is CR1247R1.
