- What it can cause
- Hot coolant that leaks into the passenger seating area increases the risk of injury.
- What the dealer does

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 24 vehicles this is a small campaign: 85% 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 one model year, 2013, so the oldest vehicles on it were 12 model years old when the defect was reported to NHTSA.
Nova Bus vehicles have been recalled over the engine and engine cooling 11 times before this, most recently in November 2024 as 24V873000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
The vehicles on this campaign carry 7 other recalls published here, the newest being: 26V355000 (service brakes, air), 26V077000 (seats), 24V647000 (seat belts), 23V350000 (seat belts).
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 August 26, 2025 as campaign 25V553000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
