- The defect
- Nova Bus (US) Inc. (Nova) is recalling certain 2022-2023 LFS vehicles. Insufficient crimping may allow the secondary fuel filter hoses to disconnect and leak.
- What it can cause
- A fuel leak in the presence of an ignition source increases the risk of a fire. Additionally, a lack of fuel can cause an engine stall, increasing the risk of a crash.
- What the dealer does
- Owners are advised not to drive their vehicles until the repair has been performed. Dealers will replace the secondary fuel filter hoses, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed July 05, 2024. Owners may contact Nova customer service at 1-800-350-6682. Nova's number for this recall is CR5595.
- 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 52 vehicles this is a small campaign: 77% 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 2022 to 2023, so the oldest vehicles on it were 2 model years old when the defect was reported to NHTSA.
Nova Bus vehicles have been recalled over the fuel system, diesel once before this, most recently in May 2021 as 21V351000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
The vehicles on this campaign carry 35 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 May 10, 2024 as campaign 24V328000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
