- The defect
- Nova Bus (US) Inc. (Nova) is recalling certain 2021 LFS buses. The vehicle multiplex software may unexpectedly cause the door system electronic control module (ECM) to open and close the rear passenger door when the bus stops.
- What it can cause
- A passenger may exit the bus in an unsafe location if the rear passenger door opens unexpectedly, increasing the risk of injury. Additionally, the doors may unexpectedly close on an exiting passenger, increasing the risk of injury.
- What the dealer does
- Nova Bus will provide instructions for how to update the vehicle multiplex and door system ECM software, and install a hardware dedicated wire kit, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed December 15, 2021. Owners may contact Nova customer service at 1-800-350-6682. Nova's number for this recall is CR5220/5221/5222.
- NHTSA's note
- Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.nhtsa.gov.
The repair is free, whatever the age or mileage of the vehicle, and whether or not you are the original owner.
Which vehicles
A recall reaches a range of VINs inside these model years, not every car built in them. Yours may not be covered even if it is listed here, and the only way to find out is NHTSA's own VIN lookup .

How this campaign compares
At 125 vehicles this is a small campaign: 67% of the 19,818 vehicle recalls filed since 1995 whose size NHTSA published are as large or larger. The middle campaign on file covers 472. It covers one model year, 2021, and the defect was reported to NHTSA in 2021, at or before the oldest model year it covers — as current as a recall gets.
Nova Bus vehicles have been recalled over the structure 2 times before this, most recently in June 2020 as 20V354000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
The vehicles on this campaign carry 22 other recalls published here, the newest being: 26V355000 (service brakes, air), 26V300000 (structure), 25V822000 (engine and engine cooling), 25V476000 (steering).
Check your own car
A VIN check is the only answer for a specific vehicle, and it also shows every other open recall on it, which is usually the reason it is worth doing rather than reading one campaign.
Filed by Nova Bus (US) Inc. with NHTSA on November 26, 2021 as campaign 21V929000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
