- The defect
- Nova Bus (US) Inc. (Nova Bus) is recalling certain 2022-2023 LFS transit buses. The mounting screws may be too short, stripping the threads and causing the bike rack to detach.
- What it can cause
- A detached bike rack can become a road hazard for other vehicles, increasing the risk of a crash.
- What the dealer does
- Nova Bus will replace the mounting screws, free of charge. Owner notification letters are expected to be mailed November 28, 2026. Owners may contact Nova Bus customer service at 1-800-350-6682. Nova Bus's number for this recall is CR5957.
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 |

How this campaign compares
At 18 vehicles this is a small campaign: 88% of the 19,844 vehicle recalls with a published size filed from 1995 up to this one are as large or larger. The middle campaign among them covers 472. It covers model years 2022 to 2023, 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 equipment 2 times before this, most recently in November 2023 as 23V763000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
The vehicles on this campaign carry 36 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 September 29, 2026 as campaign 26V624000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
