SEAT BELTS:FRONT
- The defect
- Nova Bus (US) Inc. (Nova) is recalling certain 2010-2020 LFS Artic and 2012-2024 LFS vehicles. The driver's seat belt may not retract properly. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 209, "Seat Belt Assemblies."
- What it can cause
- A seat belt that does not retract properly may result in a loose seat belt, which can increase the risk of injury in a crash.
- What the dealer does
- Nova Bus will install additional seat stoppers to the driver's rear partition, free of charge. Owner notification letters are expected to be mailed July 4, 2025. Nova's number for this recall is CR5635. This recall expands and replaces previous recall number 23V-350. Vehicles that were previously recalled under 23V-350 will need to have the new remedy completed.
- 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.
| Vehicle | Model years | Safety record |
|---|---|---|

| Nova Bus LFS Artic | 2010 to 2020 | Not published here |
How this campaign compares
At 1,570 vehicles this is a bigger campaign than 63% of the 18,213 vehicle recalls with a published size filed from 1995 up to this one. The middle campaign among them covers 473. It covers model years 2010 to 2024, so the oldest vehicles on it were 14 model years old when the defect was reported to NHTSA.
Nova Bus vehicles have been recalled over the seat belts once before this, most recently in May 2023 as 23V350000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
The vehicles on this campaign carry 58 other recalls published here, the newest being: 26V712000 (fuel system, diesel), 26V624000 (equipment), 26V604000 (parking brake), 26V573000 (engine and engine cooling).
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 5, 2024 as campaign 24V647000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
