SERVICE BRAKES, AIR:DISC:CHAMBER
- The defect
- Nova Bus (US) Inc. (Nova Bus) is recalling certain 2016-2019 LFS and LFS Artic buses. The brake chamber on the rear axle may have been improperly manufactured, which can result in an air leak.
- What it can cause
- A brake chamber air leak may cause the brakes to engage unexpectedly, which can overheat the brakes and increase the risk of a fire. Additionally, unexpected braking can increase the risk of a crash.
- What the dealer does
- Nova Bus will inspect and replace the brake chamber as necessary, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed November 02, 2024. Owners may contact Nova Bus customer service at 1-800-350-6682. Nova Bus's number for this recall is CR5619.
- 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 534 vehicles this is a bigger campaign than 51% of the 19,818 vehicle recalls filed since 1995 whose size NHTSA published. The middle campaign on file covers 472. It covers model years 2016 to 2019, so the oldest vehicles on it were 8 model years old when the defect was reported to NHTSA.
Nova Bus vehicles have been recalled over the service brakes, air 5 times before this, most recently in May 2018 as 18V299000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
The vehicles on this campaign carry 23 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 July 25, 2024 as campaign 24V558000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
