PARKING BRAKE:CONVENTIONAL:AIR
- The defect
- Nova Bus (US) Inc. (Nova Bus) is recalling certain 2021-2024 LFS and 2021-2023 LFS Artic buses. An air leak may occur in the parking brake valve and unintentionally engage the parking brake without activating the brake lights.
- What it can cause
- A bus that stops suddenly without activating brake lights increases the risk of a crash.
- What the dealer does
- Nova Bus will inspect and tighten the parking brake air line connections, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed July 24, 2024. Owners may contact Nova Bus customer service at 1-800-350-6682. Nova Bus's number for this recall is CR5615.
- 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 900 vehicles this is a bigger campaign than 57% of the 19,818 vehicle recalls filed since 1995 whose size NHTSA published. The middle campaign on file covers 472. It covers model years 2021 to 2024, 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 parking brake once before this, most recently in June 2015 as 15V350000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
The vehicles on this campaign carry 45 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 July 8, 2024 as campaign 24V518000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
