ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:COOLING SYSTEM
- The defect
- Nova Bus (US) Inc. (Nova Bus) is recalling certain 2023-2024 LFS Artic and 2022-2024 LFS buses. The coolant sensor could send a false signal, causing the engine to shut down.
- What it can cause
- An unexpected engine shut down can increase the risk of a crash. Additionally, transferring passengers from the disabled bus can increase the risk of injury.
- What the dealer does
- Nova Bus will inspect and replace the coolant sensor as necessary, free of charge. Owner notification letters are expected to be mailed November 2, 2026. Owners may contact Nova Bus customer service at 1-800-350-6682. Nova Bus's number for this recall is CR5936. This recall supersedes Recall 24V873. Vehicles repaired under the previous recall will need the new repair completed.
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 928 vehicles this is a bigger campaign than 58% of the 19,818 vehicle recalls filed since 1995 whose size NHTSA published. The middle campaign on file covers 472. It covers model years 2022 to 2024, so the oldest vehicles on it were 4 model years old when the defect was reported to NHTSA.
Nova Bus vehicles have been recalled over the engine and engine cooling 13 times before this, most recently in November 2025 as 25V822000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
The vehicles on this campaign carry 38 other recalls published here, the newest being: 26V355000 (service brakes, air), 26V300000 (structure), 26V275000 (electrical system), 26V206000 (visibility).
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 September 3, 2026 as campaign 26V573000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
