2016 Nova Bus LFS Artic recall: electrical system
⚠️ What's wrong
Nova Bus (Nova) is recalling certain 2016 Nova LFS Artic transit buses. In the event of a loss of communication within the bus' multiplex network, the computer may command full throttle application, without input from the driver.
💥 The risk
Unintentional, full throttle application may increase the risk of a crash.
🔧 The fix
Nova has notified owners, and dealers have reprogrammed the buses, free of charge. The recall began on April 28, 2017. Owners may contact Nova customer service at 1-450-472-6410. Nova's recall number for this campaign is CR4041.
Is the fix free? Yes. Safety recall repairs are free at any authorized dealer under federal law, including parts and labor. (Vehicles more than 15 years old when the recall was announced can be excluded, but most manufacturers still fix them.)
