EXTERIOR LIGHTING
- The defect
- Nova Bus (US) Inc. (Nova) is recalling certain 2016-2020 LFS and 2013-2022 LFS Artic buses. The momentary STOP and YIELD text message board is duplicating the stop light and turn signal light signals. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 108, "Lamps, Reflective Devices, and Associated Equipment."
- What it can cause
- The momentary text message board duplicating light signals may cause confusion, increasing the risk of a crash.
- What the dealer does
- Nova will coordinate with Prevost Service Centers to remove the momentary text message board duplicating light signals and associated equipment, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed on June 27, 2022. Owners may contact Nova's customer service at 1-800-350-6682. Nova's number for this recall is CR5267/68/69.
- 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 307 vehicles this is a small campaign: 55% 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 model years 2013 to 2022, so the oldest vehicles on it were 9 model years old when the defect was reported to NHTSA.
Nova Bus vehicles have been recalled over the exterior lighting once before this, most recently in March 2021 as 21V151000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
The vehicles on this campaign carry 28 other recalls published here, the newest being: 26V355000 (service brakes, air), 26V300000 (structure), 26V182000 (seat belts), 26V077000 (seats).
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 May 11, 2022 as campaign 22V323000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
