Why it was recalled

The problem: a crash risk.

NHTSA's defect summary: “Nova Bus (US) Inc. (Nova Bus) is recalling certain 2024-2025 LFS transit buses. The emergency brake valve may have been improperly tightened. A loose connection may cause an air leak and the unintentional activation of the parking brake.”

The consequence, according to NHTSA: “The bus may suddenly slow or stop without the brake lights turning on, increasing the risk of a crash.”
