STEERING:ELECTRIC POWER ASSIST SYSTEM
- The defect
- Nova Bus (US) Inc. (Nova Bus) is recalling certain 2020-2023 LFS transit buses. The electric power steering system may be missing a check valve, allowing hydraulic pressure to turn the steering wheel without the driver's input.
- What it can cause
- A steering wheel that turns unintentionally increases the risk of a crash or injury.
- What the dealer does
- Nova Bus will install a check valve, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed September 11, 2025. Owners may contact Nova Bus customer service at 1-450-472-6410. Nova Bus' number for this recall is CR5746.
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 5 model years old when the defect was reported to NHTSA.
Nova Bus vehicles have been recalled over the steering 5 times before this, most recently in July 2023 as 23V481000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
The vehicles on this campaign carry 46 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 22, 2025 as campaign 25V476000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
