- The defect
- Nova Bus (US) Inc. (Nova Bus) is recalling certain 2020-2023 LFS and LFS Artic transit buses. The brackets retaining the Mobile Climate Control HVAC Unit could fail and allow the unit to detach from the bus.
- What it can cause
- An HVAC unit that detaches from a bus can create a road hazard, increasing the risk of a crash.
- What the dealer does
- Nova Bus will inspect the existing brackets and install additional brackets, as necessary, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed December 20, 2023. Owners may contact Nova Bus customer service at 1-800-350-6882. Nova Bus's number for this recall is CR5508.
- 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 339 vehicles this is a small campaign: 54% 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 2020 to 2023, so the oldest vehicles on it were 3 model years old when the defect was reported to NHTSA.
Nova Bus vehicles have been recalled over the equipment once before this, most recently in June 2016 as 16V412000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
The vehicles on this campaign carry 47 other recalls published here, the newest being: 26V573000 (engine and engine cooling), 26V355000 (service brakes, air), 26V300000 (structure), 26V275000 (electrical system).
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 11, 2023 as campaign 23V763000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
