Nova Bus recall: Electrical system
What is wrong
Nova Bus (Nova) is recalling certain model year 2010-2015 Nova LFS Artic transit buses manufactured from September 1, 2010, through April 30, 2015, and equipped with Allison transmissions. The main power cable within the energy guiding system (EGS) may have been incorrectly routed and, as a result, the cable may disconnect.
What could happen
If the main power cable disconnects, there will be a loss of power that could disable the vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash.
The fix
Nova will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the main power cable, re-routing it as necessary, free of charge. The recall began on April 11, 2016. Owners may contact Nova customer service at 1-450-472-6410. Nova's recall number for this campaign is CR3590.
